I've reviewed several albums from The Electric Family in the past. I always land them under progressive rock, but it's not a tight fit. Perhaps this new release fits more in the space rock or jam band zone than some of their others. However you label this, though, the sonic tapestry is sometimes familiar and other times challenging and unique. It's always compelling, though.

This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) form in Music Street Journal: 2023  Volume 1. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2023.

Unusual musical textures are on display as this comes in. The cut rises upward with a real prog vibe. Then it shifts to more of a folk prog approach. The vocals make me think of Dire Straits to some degree. The weirdness that started this returns at the end, segueing it into the next piece.

A mid-tempo number, there is a tweaked and twisted angle to this proggy rocker. The vocals on this has a distorted vibe that makes them feel alien. There are some space rock vibes at play here.
