Birzer Bandana Hillsdale, Michigan
Birzer Bandana are two prog lovers from opposite sides of the Atlantic who have never met. One creates concepts and lyrical prose. The other creates music. A joining of the two.

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

The glowing reviews really do do this album justice. It's stunning. Musically literate and adventurous. And get this - jazz funk groove on a prog rock album. The drummer in me was ready to go "oh dear, programmed drums" and on a couple of tracks I did think "Hm, could do with a better drum track" but creditable work by Dave Smith for the most part. Thanks to terrapin station for the find, by the way!
