Spiraling – Challenging Stage/Holiday Single – EP Bundle (2 EP-CD Bundle)
This bundle includes the two Spiraling EPs - Challenging Stage and Holiday Single.
Spiraling - Challenging Stage (EP)
A 2004 four-song EP recorded mostly live in the studio by Spiraling, the indie/synth rock quartet founded by keyboardist/vocalist/songwriter Tom Brislin. While Brislin is known for his keyboard work with progressive and classic rock artists (he’s been a member of Kansas since 2019), Spiraling represented a more direct progressive pop approach, tight and song-focused.
“They use the whole of their parts to achieve a strong sound…The band uses a variety of sounds under the vocals to archive some very proggy parts to the music. This subtlety is the strength of Spiraling.” - Prog Archives
