I have landed this release under progressive rock. It is not actually prog rock. It isn’t even really rock at all. It is definitely art music, though. There is an expressive and moody vibe to this. It has a lot of style and charm. It’s also quite unique and intriguing.

Mellow, somber and enchanting, I really love the keyboard textures on this. The whole piece just oozes art music cool. There is a real chamber music angle to this, too.

The vocal performance on this track has so much feeling built into it. I love the piano on the track, and the whole song works out in some great art rock ways. It evolves from quite stripped back and mellow to more of a full rock arrangement later.

There is a trippy mellow vibe as cut comes in very gradually. This is another that’s very firmly set in art music zones.

Yes, this is a cover of the Tom Petty song. It’s delivered in a slow, moody arrangement built on piano and vocals.

Mellow, artsy and tastefully moody, I really like this a lot. It has some chamber music vibes, and it builds out gradually.

Another that rises up very gradually, this is the epic of the set. It evolves almost glacially slowly with just ambient elements at its heart. It’s about six-and-a-half minutes before even hints of vocals emerge. They are non-lyrical when they do. They are also mostly in the background. This is ten minutes of ambient art that is essentially an instrumental.
