Greek band, The Fog Ensemble, have released their sophomore album on Inner Ear Records. The seven tracks are an experimental take on instrumental rock music. With an interplay between prog rock and electronica, the album has some nice touches. Unfortunately the heavy fuzzed guitar parts are much too overly repetitious, overshadowing the more interesting melodic elements and giving the whole album a bit of a boring vibe. There are many interesting things going on in these tracks that deserve to be in the foreground where their diversity and depth can engage the listener. As it is the album is worth a listen, but is also not something one will probably want to go back to a second time. Stream and buy Throbs at the link below.
