FRAMES - Debut Album Out In North America This Month; Prog-Rock Radio Program The Gagliarchives To Premier Tracks This Saturday
September 3, 2010, 14 years ago
Progressive rock radio program The Gagliarchives is set to premiere the first selections from Mosaik, the new album from Hanover, Germany's FRAMES on September 4th beginning at 10 PM (EST). The North American premiere will also include an interview with drummer Kiryll Kulakowski.
There aren't many bands in the contemporary rock universe that can describe themselves with a simple word like Frames. And with another six letters one can define what makes their sound stand out: unique. These four young musicians are not jumping on any bandwagon, instead forging their own musical trail.
Completely instrumental, the listener is instead fully focused on the music. A traditional rock foundation is anchored with guitar, bass and drums - and then the clouds part through the keyboards and we see a new musical world.
Formed in 2007, the musicians build each track into a unique mosaic landscape - sometimes epic, heartbreaking melancholy, sometimes dark and otherworldly. The keys easily play on the misty edge of the avant-garde pop cliff, while the guitar springs forth creating a virtual mountain range over the keys' melodies. But there is no cliff or mountain too high to take one away from the path of detailed musical harmony.
For the past 20 years, New Jersey based The Gagliarchives has been a vital news source for fans of progressive rock.
