Gazpacho

This Norwegian band is at the forefront of innovation in modern prog. Their new album, Magic 8-Ball, which explores the idea of fate, marks their first studio album in five years.

Gazpacho's sound is difficult to define; the band themselves describe it as a mix of art rock and cinematic storytelling. Their work is therefore regularly compared to bands like Radiohead, Marillion, Porcupine Tree, and Anathema. Their music has the same long, simmering, build-up quality that Marillion also possesses. However, one thing Gazpacho is not, and that is predictable. Now they're back with a new studio album: Magic 8-Ball. The album is a collection of short stories. Each song follows a different character at its breaking point; moments after which everything changes. You must know them.
