Description/Reviews:
Musically, 'Lighter Than Air' marks a clear step forward. Whereas the debut leaned heavily on the legacy of '70s progressive rock—with influences from legends like Genesis, Yes, and King Crimson—the follow-up has a more modern and contemporary sound, reminiscent of Marillion’s Clutching at Straws era. Still, the roots in prog tradition remain evident: epic compositions, adventurous rhythms, and virtuosic instrumental passages continue to define the band’s sound.
In addition to the familiar rock instrumentation, The One incorporates analogue synthesizers, lap steel guitar, double bass, and flute. These elements add depth and an unexpected richness to the music. With 'Lighter Than Air', The One presents itself as a mature band with a strong and distinctive identity.

Lyrics, vocal lines and guitar parts by Paul Sadler
Music written, arranged and produced by Andreas Hack
except (2) by Nerissa Schwarz

Description/Reviews:
 It is an album that pushes stylistically further in all directions than its predecessor. Bolder, overtly progressive songwriting is combined with a more pronounced virtuosity, yet it never loses the accessible elements that made the first album such a critical and artistic success.
Once again, Andreas’ former bandmate, electric harpist Nerissa Schwarz enriches the music with a wide range of sounds, from eerie ambient soundscapes to energetic outbursts. Lyrically the album deals primarily with the theme of impermanence and the way in which we are all affected by the knowledge of our own mortality. All these elements are combined in a unique cinematic, gothic and truly progressive album, that despite its musical complexities remains relatable and honest, and will linger in the listener’s mind long after the music stops.

Producer: Jochem Jacobs
Producer: Forrester Savell

Description/Reviews:
With layered compositions that range from tranquil oases to swirling riffs Inhalo is as diverse as an alternative progressive rock band can be. A seamless blend of serene and ferocious elegantly held together by an emotional performance. Tension and release, like a ballet dancer gracefully tiptoeing on a volcanic caldera.
Inhalo is no newcomer. All of the band members have earned their stripes over the years playing tours all over the continent in bands such as A Liquid Landscape, Ivy’s Dream and The Heaven’s Devils, supporting bands like Karnivool, Riverside and Marillion. After years of working on their music with scene icons like Jochem Jacobs (Textures) and Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus), the four Dutchmen have now teamed up with Construction Records for the release of their debut album.
‘Sever’ is a passionate musical journey about dealing with anxiety and the process of growth within its confines. A journey in which beauty can lull you into a false sense of security before it pulls the rug from under your feet and sends you hurtling down its fiery pits.
