Progen veteraani Kayakilta uusi albumi tammikuussa – Kuuntele ensimmäinen single

Hollantilainen progressiivisen rockin legenda Kayak valmistautuu 17. studioalbuminsa julkaisuun. ”Seventeen”-albumi julkaistaan tammikuun 12. päivä Insideout Musicin kautta. Levyn ensimmäinen single ”Feathers & Tar” on nyt kuunneltavissa.

Perustajajäsen Ton Scherpenzeel  on kuvaillut kappaletta seuraavasti:

”While being a straight-up, very rousing track musically, ’Feathers and Tar’ is a hard one to explain lyrically. The lyrics are basically part of a larger story that is not quite finished yet, but can stand on its own as well, metaphorically. I put it into a kind of ’Game of Thrones’ like context, to point out the seemingly inevitable cycle of wars, because of greed and general human misconduct – history repeating as it were. Not a very happy tale yet a really powerful song!”

Albumilta on myös hiljattain julkaistu traileri, joka sisältää pätkiä kolmesta levyn kappaleesta:

Scherpenzeel kommentoi albumia:

“Who would have thought that the quirky Dutch prog band that began its journey in 1973 (the year “See See The Sun” came out) would still have a future some 45 years later. Yes, we have had our share of ups and downs. Often it seemed the band would either break up for good or fade into oblivion. But we didn’t. So here we are, a new line up, but as dedicated to the music as we were in the beginning. If there is a secret to KAYAK’s longevity, it must be that.

Writing this, I realize that the album title does not only mark the number of studio albums

KAYAK has made up until now. It also represents that exciting feeling of being 17 all over

where it will lead us, but we’re on our way. Here’s to new horizons.”
