Fans of Pink Floyd, listen up! Fascination Curve are here with a new album, ‘Corona Time in Amerika’, released August 4th. The album is a poignant reflection of the political climate in the world but specifically in the US, using some legendary artists from Toto, Asia and Electric Light Orchestra to creatively express their message which has been expertly crafted into a progressive-rock sound along the same lines of The Wall by Pink Floyd.
Blurring the lines of genre conventions, ‘Corona Time in Amerika’, is the result of music expertise, an important message and creative expression that is second to none. Atmospheric music that you feel and not just hear, lyrics that cut deep with a generous dose of rip-roaring guitar solos – it’s beyond just a piece of music, it’s an all our performance with a message that needs to be heard. Each song has layers that require multiple listens which get better each and every time.
Kicking the album off is the impressive, ‘Land of the Free, Home of the Slaves’, giving the feel of a film score, starting off with drums and guitars that peak the interest before a voice echoes in with memorable lyrics – the song is set up perfectly for the riffs that are yet to come; the calm before the storm. When the storm comes, in comes in the form of powerful guitar solos and hard-hitting riffs that underline and boost the vocals, creating a song that draws you in waiting for more.
With what the rest of the album delivers is in line with the first track. A message in the lyrics that slot neatly between the controlled chaos of powerful riffs and mesmerising solos – a generally great album, delivered with unique creative expression that is filled with a message on society that needs to be heard.
The band, assembled by Karl Lundeberg, has delivered an album that needs a listen. Music of this quality is reason enough, but the way it is delivered with the message inside of it is something that music needs – hard-hitting lyrics with expert riffs and vocals. Released on August 6th, the album is available for you now, it would be a mistake to let it pass you by.
