Length: 70:13
Genre: Prog Rock / Post Rock / Psychedelic Rock
Origin: Milton Keynes, England
When the New Towns were built in 1960s England, they were considered a project for a better future. Looking back more than half a century later, one can argue whether this future has become the past, whether it is still taking place, or if maybe time froze - at least when regarding post-war cultural movements.
From the biggest of the New Towns - Milton Keynes - a rock band has formed that has mastered to make use of the multiple paradoxa of time. With their newest album "Hexed Endeavours" out this October, here is a good chance to introduce you to Our Man in the Bronze Age.
Our Man in the Bronz Age formed in 2007. The quintet's line-up consists of:
Justin Hodges - guitars,
Jonathan Muston - drums, keys, vocals,
Tom Platt - drums, vocals,
Graham Hulbert - vocals, guitars, and
Andi Jackson - bass, vocals.
Some MangoWave readers might know the latter from these reviews.
"Hexed Endeavours" is one of those exceptional albums. On the surface alone, it appears like an artistic work of Prog, Post, Psych, and related genres of sophisticated rock music. Step by step, the audience can dig deeper into this wholesome work and thus explore layers after layers of harmonies, structures, themes, and motifs - and the longer you dig, the more you realize that everything is exactly where it belongs.
Opulent symphonic arrangements lead into massive Post Rock passages, heavy psychedelia rises up into the highest heavens of 70s Prog, and not a single element seems misplaced here. Our Man in the Bronze Age have hereby created a multidimensional piece of art - intelligent rock music for all ages.
