OVERLOADING

Israeli band ANAKDOTA was formed in 2013, consisting of members that all have a musical education they bring into the band and the music created and explored. "Overloading" is their debut album, and was released by Italian label Altrock Productions through their imprint Fading Records in 2016.

Anakdota is a band that merits a check if you want to check out something a bit different. With a foundation in jazz as I experience this album, but with distinct nods in the direction of both classical music and pop music. Music easy on the ears and the mind, yet also featuring some challenging details here and there. Those with a certain affection for piano based jazz should find plenty to enjoy on this album, especially if they are also able to appreciate a band exploring that style seguing over to both pop music and classical music, in sum creating material that arguably is a better fit inside the progressive rock umbrella than anywhere else.
