With pedigrees in White Willow, Henry Fool, Airbag, IQ, Änglagård, the Tim Bowness Band, and the John Wetton Band, international collective Galasphere 347 deliver music with an epic widescreen scale.

 

Helmed by Stephen James Bennett, The Syntax of Things artistically expands on the project’s 2018 debut. Joined by musical heavyweights such as Bjørn Riis, Jacob Holm-Lupo, Pete Smith, John Jowitt, Myke Clifford, Mattias Olsson and Ketil Vestrum Einarsen, Bennett’s vintage analogue keyboards (his signature ARP Odyssey solo sound and lashings of real Mellotron) are to the fore. The addition of 12-string electric and acoustic guitars, Lap steel, and Gizmotron complete the sonic picture.

 

Exploring longing, nostalgia and loss, as well as suggesting the possibility of a better future, The Syntax of Things offers a fresh take on classic progressive rock.
