Another progressive rock band to come out of the Pacific Northwest is Flurries. They play mostly in the traditional AOR prog fashion with a very 80s approach, especially in the vocal department. It’s done in that romantic, classy sort of way, but not stuck in that era. This is more modern than the 80s were back then, if that makes sense. It's not all club rock, but some of it is — because you can dance to it, but don't have to. But the guitars are hot as well as the keyboards and beats.

They consist of Michael Johnson who writes all the music and plays bass/keys/piano, along with drums by Christian Cochran, and Stephen Hawkes on guitar — who produced this disc as well — and Davin Carten on additional guitars. It's a brat band with Michael Johnson totally leading the way on this very satisfying release. And with the recent addition of Elijah Johnson who replaced Stephen Hawkes, their future holds a lot of promise. This is a killer band.

This gets right down to what this band is all about, without wasting a second. It opens with a great keyboard motif that comes and goes as the vocals instantly establish their evidently unique originality and awesomeness.
