Album number three from the crazy world of Jason Bieler and the Baron Von Bielski. It’s very hard to pigeonhole the kind of sounds and grooves emanating from the speakers from JB’s latest release. We are straddling multiple genres and styles here and if I’m cornered, melodic prog is the one thing that takes front and centre in my feeble little brain.
The one thing I love, other than the music, from JB’s albums is his wild and wonderful sense of humour. Check out the special guests and mentions on the cover. Apparently Beatrice Bracegirdle is an assistant to JB and his legal representation is Hedwig Von Litigious.
This is an album you will comeback to again and again as there is so much to take in. There are supremely heavy moments like on Industrious, with those heavy low end guitars. And then there’s beautiful, delicate, and melodic tunes like Hollow. There is even a touch of hybrid drum and bass Prog with the wonderfully awesome No Real Goodbyes.
I don’t think anyone operates in the same musical sphere as JB and he is refreshing change from the norm. Cool record!!
9/10 from The Grooveman.
