Days Between Stations - A New Prog Concept (Art Rock to Post Prog)

Mais uma grande contribuição do amigo Peter Hammil ao nosso universo musical. Days Between Stations é uma banda relativamente nova no Prog World com conceitos diferenciados. Diferenciados porque os idealizadores da banda,  o guitarista Sepand Samzadeh e o tecladista Oscar Fuentes, buscaram integrar excelentes músicos em um ambiente que fosse capaz de expressar e desafiar suas criatividades (imaginação), suas expressões, definindo-as como um Art Rock para o Post Prog.

Days Between Stations biography

Californian guitarist Sepand Samzadeh and keyboarder Oscar Fuentes founded DAYS BETWEEN STATIONS in November 2003. Their project is named after a novel written by surrealist Steve Erickson which was published first in 1985. The band can look back to a liaison with Pineapple Thief in 2004 which used some of their improvised material as the basis for the song 'Saturday' of the album '12 Stories Down'. For their eponymous debut released in 2007 Samzadeh and Fuentes managed to integrate some fine musicians to express their imagination of making music with a range from what they describe as art rock to post prog. Former Young Dubliners drummer Jon Mattox began to collaborate in 2005 and became the band's co-producer on top of it. Samzadeh's uncle Jeffrey, who sings traditional iranian music, lent his distinctive wail to the opening song 'Requiem For The Living'. DAYS BETWEEN STATIONS' first album is provided with two long tracks whereby 'Laudanum' with over 20 minutes is the centerpiece. A melancholic and charming effort with some references to Pink Floyd and fitted out with convincing brass contributions. Ambient soundscapes, contemporary classical moments and even a short new wave excursion are completing the wide stylistic boundaries - simply recommended for film music. Besides some plans to release an EP featuring non-album tracks and demos the band is working on a follow-up.
