Description/Reviews:
Originally from northern California, A. Plot spent six years during the 1980s playing clubs in the area before deciding they weren’t a nightclub band, in part because they’d committed from day one to play only originals. Fast forward 25 years to 2014; band founders Neale Brassell (keyboards) and Kevin Young (vocals/guitar), now based in St. Louis and southern California respectively, decided to reboot as a studio project. After an eight-month songwriting and recording binge, they realized they had recorded far too much music, and so in a moment of hubris and wild abandon, decided to debut with a 19-song double-CD. They are quick to point out that they are not a prog band, preferring the term “intelligent rock”. There aren’t any odd time signatures, no flights of performance virtuosity, or even a human drummer, and only one song is over eight minutes long. Still, the fans they’ve gained worldwide are mostly from the prog community, which says something either about the open-mindedness of prog fans, or the narrow boundaries of other current rock genres.
