About this album

  • Updated: 22/06/2010

Clocking in at a bit over an hour, byron's latest release features a much more developed sound, as the band improved both their songwriting abilities and their studio skills. The fourteen tracks are more focused and to the point, sporting a wider diversity of influences (especially blues, funk and progressive).

The album as a whole deals with the process of creation from an artist's perspective - ranging from madness to zen. In frontman Dan Byron's words, "The mood is nocturnal, rather intimate, sometimes playful or even exuberant".

The soft voice draws you into the lyrics, but unfortunately I find myself distracted by the lack of discipline applied to the pronunciation of English (a common plague among most Romanian bands). As for the music itself, its well constructed for the genre. I bet this band is a blast to see live at the bar de zi in your cartier. I'd fork over a few RON to check them out over a Bergenbier or two.

surprising that I am the first to comment this album. just a luck to find into your album as I'm searching only for techno and found progressive here....but rock....normally I do not like rock very much, but this album here is great artrock, very good and professional work. beautiful and not getting boring. thanks a lot for sharing!

mi sono imbattuto, per caso in questo gruppo e, cosa rara di questi tempi, ho ascoltato la loro musica dall'inizio alla fine senza annoiarmi. la musica è molto coinvolgente ma su tutto è la voce che mi ha impressionato molto. ci sono dei brani veramente meravigliosi! a volte mi ricordano la Dave Matthews Band in altri casi buckley (figlio) ma è solo una sensazione perchè, anche se non hanno reinventato la musica, li trovo discretamente personali. favolosa è "a poem without an and" molto passionale ma sono tutti belli i brani. è bello rimanere felicemente impressionato ascoltando nuova musica e lo dico perchè, purtroppo, ultimamente sono rimasto deluso da musica di gruppi blasonati... complimenti!
