Prog music

Prog explorers, brace for impact: Lars Karlsson steps out solo with crunchy guitars that sound like "Song for a Gorgeous Blonde had a car accident with Gentle Giant," while Höstaffären conjures gothic-electro-industrial beats awash in minimalist classical piano and strings — Phillip Glass meets Danny Elfman. Zen älskarinna offers an 8-minute ambient cinematic meditation through Asian-influenced sounds with didgeridoo in tow, and I Am Gorgeous Yellow (Also) cranks up the prog on its techno predecessor — loud, crazy fast, and stomping-dinosaur approved. The Sleeping Cliffs' Goose Congress rounds things out with upbeat alt-prog blending motown vibes, indie sleaze, and noise rock.
