Hi all, http://www.patchworkcacophony.com/five-of-cups.html" rel="nofollow">  I'm pleased to announce that http://www.patchworkcacophony.com/" rel="nofollow - Patchwork Cacophony 's new album will be released on 7th November. Currently one track (a single, I suppose) is streamable on http://patchworkcacophony.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp and the rest will be made available on the release date. If anyone here is interested in reviewing it, drop me a private message and I'll sort you out with a preview copy. The official press-release text is below: Patchwork Cacophony's second album, "Five of Cups", sees multi-instrumentalist Ben Bell returning with another symphonic prog-rock album that refines and further develops the distinctive character of 2014's self-titled debut. The new album is written around a central lyrical theme, with sharp songwriting and suitably wry lyrics flanking his trademark instrumental passages and multi-layered vocal choirs. The album comprises eight tracks and is a mix of longer multi-part "epics" and shorter pieces, with the emphasis on musicality rather than virtuosity. In a marked departure from the first album, this album features a couple of guest musicians with guitarists Marcus Taylor ( http://www.brokenparachute.com" rel="nofollow - Broken Parachute , http://www.kashgarband.com" rel="nofollow - Kashgar ) and Tim Hall each taking the limelight on a track. As with Patchwork Cacophony's debut release, Five of Cups draws strongly on the influences of classic-era prog bands such as Genesis and Yes while pushing forward in its own individual direction rather than simply mimicking the past.
