The Chronicles of Father Robin - The Songs & Tales of Airoea – Book III (CD)
From Our Friends at Karisma Records.
Rhys Marsh, born in Lomdon but now based in Trondheim, Norway, is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist & producer. He’s a solo artist, leader of The Autumn Ghost, as well as a part of Kaukasus & Mandala.
October After All is a beautiful and atmospheric prog album, touching in on both alternative rock and jazz elements. The album features contributions from Arve Henriksen on trumpet and Kåre Kolve on saxophone, as well as a choir which includes the talents of Rohey, Silje Leirvik, Anders Bjermeland and Tim Bowness.
About the new songs, Rhys say: “I try to approach every album from a different angle, to give it its own identity. When I was writing this album, I was very inspired by music from the mid- to late-seventies, especially songs that had string synthesizers in place of Mellotrons. And of course, the drum sounds from that era, which I absolutely love. These songs were all written after I got married and our son was born, so for the first time, on any album really, I let the songs be reflections of specific events.”
October After All is a diverse atmospheric prog rock album, that takes us from the tender and melodic Golden Lullabies, the rough and pathos driven Let it be Known! to the upbeat yet dynamic The Summer Days.
