Not a Good Sign - From a Distance (2015)

The band takes their name from one of their own songs but the expression also alludes to their take on the present economic climate across the globe, a situation that in turn mirrors the dark mood on the recently released debut album. At the forefront of their sound is a wide array of vintage keyboards that includes Hammond organ and Rhodes and Wurlitzer pianos, but it is a dynamic twinning of synthesizers and string ensembles that overlays much of the album in great glacial sheets of sound and reflects the despair and loneliness of the lyrics. The close connections among the band members help to maximise their strength as a unit and this results in the production of a powerful blend of heavy and symphonic prog that is clearly fashioned on KING CRIMSON although it also has reminiscences of ÄNGLAGÅRD and ANEKDOTEN.
