Description/Reviews:
Ciccada’s sound is a unique blend of rock, jazz, folk and Western European traditional music. It is based on strong melodic lines, drawing on influences from the progressive greats of the 1970s, such as Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull, Camel, Gryphon, Strawbs, Renaissance, Hatfield & The North, Spirogyra and Curved Air.  
'Harvest', the band’s first full-length release since 2016’s The Finest Of Miracles, sees Ciccada on fine form, with six new pieces featuring their trademark blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation, woodwind and reeds, all fronted by the twin vocal attack of Dimi Spela and Evangelia Kozoni.
