We can no longer follow the album releases of 'Chris Antblad' because the last album reviewed on myprogmusic was the third chapter of 'Age Of Concord' and this not even a year ago but, in the meantime, the Swedish has also released two more albums in 2020, first 'Age Of Concord - Quarantine' in August 2020 which was a fully instrumental album with sweet and melancholic compositions to listen to in a quiet place to relax then, 'Age Of Concord – America' in November 2020 which offered us magnificent melodies in the style we knew in 'Age Of Concord III' with endearing titles which gives this impression of having always been a part of our life and that we immediately appropriate. So, just 5 months later, Chris releases another new baby which is the fourth chapter of 'Age Of Concord' and which contains seven singles that the Swede has released since the end of 2020 but also original compositions.
With this new opus, we find these tailor-made melodies to make us spend a very pleasant moment between pop, blues, rock, and country in the great tradition of artists of the 80s and this from the first title 'I Just Need to Know' with a first heady chorus that immediately grafts itself into our heads. So we embark on a new peaceful musical journey where "all is order and beauty, Luxury, calm and pleasure" in which we completely abandon ourselves whether on catchy tracks like 'Breaking Away from the Herd' or 'The White Man's Overbite' or 'Mr Primeminister' or 'Love Was Never Lost Along The Way' or even 'Summer Has Finally Come' with a few more intense guitar riffs, but also more relaxed atmospheres with for example 'A Summer That Won't End' or 'Everyone Knows' or 'The Days' or even 'Song For My M'. By the way, I did not tell you, other singles are also available which are not in this last opus with 'Faded Pictures', 'The Teremana Song', I'm Not Afraid to Come Closer' and 'Not Today'.
In short, it is still a very beautiful album that 'Chris Antblad' offers us with this talent to offer us compositions all as endearing as each other and with this ability to chain close releases and, you who love beautiful melodies mixing pop, rock, blues or country, I advise you to listen to these last albums and there is a good chance that you will become a fan of this Swede who does not seek notoriety by self-producing these albums and who, for my share, makes me spend very pleasant moments of listening to each release of album... | |
