There is a world away from the usual radio and MTV formats; a universe in which music effortlessly creates colourful images without excessive visual presentation, captivating its listeners with its haunting structures. And which, if you listen really carefully, allows the whole range of traditional rock music to pass by the audience’s ear.
Beardfish from Sweden are a prime example of this phenomenon, an archetype of an exceptionally expressive prog rock act. Their current album, Sleeping In Traffic: Part Two, features quotes from almost all eras of music history, blending them into an unmistakable sound.
Sleeping In Traffic: Part Two sounds enthralling and timeless and has depth and substance without overtaxing its listeners with overly intricate structures. And last but not least, a distinct sense of humour pervades Beardfish’s music in general and the eight songs on their current release in particular.
This is what Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater said about Beardfish:
Sweden's Beardfish are my favorite "new" band with an "old" sound.
Utilizing all of the classic styles and sounds of the original progessive rock bands of the 70's (mellotron, hammond organ, leslies, clean guitars, dry organic drums, etc.), these guys are making music for the folks who truly miss the classic bands that started this whole genre.
Check out their latest releases "Sleeping in Traffic - Parts 1 & 2" and you'll swear it's 1973 all over again!
