After 'Perpetual' in 2016 (see here), the Polish group 'Loonypark' releases a new album 'Deep Space Eight' with a new female singer 'Magda Grodecka' who replaces 'Sabina Godula-Zajac'. They continue to offer us a delicate and refined progressive rock with melodies close to bands like 'Mostly Autumn' (see here), the Brazilians of 'Fleesh' (see here) or 'Brave' (see here ) to name just three in my latest reviews. 'We Do not Wanna Die' starts the album with a first touching performance of Magda who has a powerful voice while remaining light and airy and that fits perfectly with the mid-tempos and beautiful melodies which are often melancholic. Follows the ballad 'The Space Between Us' with beautiful melodic lines then, 'Time Lines' accelerates the pace at the beginning of the title and then returns to an atmospheric ambiance on the second part with a very nice guitar solo and ends as he had begun. The following scrolls a new ballad 'Believe', 'Little Girl' reminiscent of the melodic lines of 'Karnataka', 'Are We Alone' which hardens the tone in a more removed tempo and some guitar riffs, the album is ending with the longest titles on the album, first of all 'Afraid of Tomorrow' which slowly unfolds its beautiful melody in an airy atmosphere and then 'Odyssey' which alternates several atmospheres between melancholy and lightness. In summary, the Poles of 'Loonypark' release a quality 5th album that reflects their trademark with beautiful accessible melodies and 'Deep Space Eight' should be appreciated by lovers of a peaceful and airy progressive rock that are fans of the formations mentioned above... | |
