One of our top picks for album of the year, The Nursery deliver a psych/rock/pop sound that is just incredible. Not a bad track on the disc. Eccentric. Esoteric. Weird. Great songs with amazing production values. This is a must have for your collection. A thoroughly enjoyable wild ride.

This 5 track EP mixes new wave, with alternative rock and then adds progressive rock overtones. beautifully written and played. An eclectic retro-pop-rock sound with an edge.

Synth rock like it was meant to be played. This UK duo writes great songs with intricate melodies and images. If you like synth rock, this is it.

The soft guitar riff that runs throughout underlies the distinct progressive rock flavor of the song. The sweet, melancholy and lamenting melody of “Time Bomb” is a wonderful foil for the more upbeat “Madrid“, with great cymbal crashes from Frank Roberts, and great changes. This song demonstrates the vocal range of Marc Morin and the patient guitar of Dan Stein. Add in a change in tempo and some very cool vocal effects, and you have a killer song. “Resuscitate” an up tempo track with a musically punky feel, has tremendous energy that emits a sense of urgency. I particularly like the vocal effects and experimentation. And the edgy rock bite. The consistent bass work of Phil Duranlo drives “Somewhere“, with its keyboard heavy sound. There are nice drum shots and rolls which emphasize the story being told here. The emotionality is evident and the elements of Progressive Rock exquisite.
