Ferris Mudd (CD)
Ferris Mudd's debut is simply this: high-caliber songwriting and musicianship that offers a uniquely dark and hypnotic exploration of rock and metal that's complex, haunting and unforgettable. To suggest that it is something familiar is to reject the fact that it is dangerously new. So back to before: has the mad flowering of ideas wilted since prog's inception nearly 40 years ago? Has the genre run dry? Where does Ferris Mudd fit in?
This band is proof that the ethos of prog is still alive and kicking: its members have reshaped and injected a force all their own into the prog boundaries with compositions that pulse with the lifeblood of rock, metal, jazz and even pop. Ferris Mudd's interest in the architecture of sound has infused each song with its own unique sound world - there are no leftovers, instead a collection of songs that can destroy you with their beauty. If their debut doesn't get the recognition it deserves, they can proudly be awarded the acclaim of being one of the best-kept music secrets to come along in a while. This is an act to watch.
