A PROG DAY IN MAY

Prog

|

Issue 171

The delightful Key Theatre is home for this relatively new addition to the prog calendar, courtesy of our friends at Progzilla Radio and their drive to promote up-and-coming bands.

- JERRY EWING

It's great to see that four of the five artists on stage have (or will have, in the coming months) graced the Limelight pages of Prog. Living In Shadows, who will be featured in a future issue, open the event with brand-new song Point Of Surrender, which is at the proggier end of the band's jazzy take on the genre. We're also treated to another new one, Shades Of Green, but it's the insistent groove of Who Are You?, carried by Zoë Gilby's affecting croon, that really steals the show.

Everybody Loves A Happy Ending

The Paradox Twin frontman and sole songwriter, Danny Sorrell, began work on his band's third LP, A Romance Of Many Dimensions, during a turbulent period in his personal life. Now on the other side, he reflects on both a solitary and collaborative creative process, and how his own experiences with grief, isolation and digital dependency are mirrored in the album's concept.

Symphonies In Bloom

Japanese post-rockers MONO have tapped into themes of grief and mourning on their 13th studio album, Snowdrop. Inspired by the floral tributes left on graves, the band have coined a musical language to communicate the emotions of grief that words can't always convey. Guitarist Takaakira ‘Taka’ Goto and producer Brad Wood reflect on their late collaborator Steve Albini and moving forward with new ideas.
