Description/Reviews:
...My Arrival offers music that is keyboard-led, more than anything else. It is gentle, reserved, and laser-focused on melody. It lathers, bubbles, and foams with luxurious, pulsating beauty.Read the full review by Jason Spencer at theprogmind.com
Don’t get me wrong here: the album has plenty of wonderful instrumentals and guitar work, including some great solos. It has moments of oomph and energy. However, the album almost doesn’t qualify as “rock”, per se. It has more pop elements found in the rich, catchy choruses and the milder style. You will also hear plenty of electronic elements, making for an album fomenting with atmosphere and space. In the end, exploring this style feels even more ambitious than just creating another progressive rock album.
