I’m not sure when Australia were a part of Europe, but Voyager entered the Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Promise” and finished ninth.
This is the band’s eighth album and is nothing like Promise. There is still tons of melody for the listener to enjoy, but be prepared for the drop tuned heavy riffs on tracks like Prince Of Fire. One of my favourite tracks I have heard this year is Ultraviolet. I think Rob from @vinyl_ragazzo mentioned this was like if Duran Duran had gone Prog. I can’t argue with that. It’s a super fun tune with killer guitar mixed with the complex rhythms and killer vocals. Epic tune!
In fact, Dreamer is even more poptastic. Superb electronic grooves to kick the tune into gear with killer low end guitar riffs and superb vocals. This band are so good at this type of song. It’s tough to pick a favourite tune but I’m going with Submarine. It’s a cool uptempo groover with some nice fat guitars, a driving beat, great keys, and a superb vocal. They are like a modern day It Bites.
Killer band and killer album!
10/10 from The Grooveman.
