Review by Jason Barnard
UK based American Cary Grace deftly crosses prog, psych and indie boundaries on new album ‘Tygerland’. Opening with the albums title track, a short Joe Meek electronica prog piece you’d expect the pattern to repeat throughout its eight tracks. No. Moving into the Ziggy Suede echoing ‘Cynanide’ which shows a talented songwriter singer and musician of the top order.
‘Orange Sky’ shifts into electro pop with harking back to Tori Amos’ late 90s period but bridging to the 70s with its Minimoog sound. Then we have the blues rock of ‘Orange Sky’ queuing into jazz pop ‘Limelight’ moving to perfect guitar indie with the ethereal of psych ‘Razorwire’.
Penultimate number ‘Into The Indigo’ brings us towards psychedelia before closing this remarkable album with prog piece ‘Windsong’. ‘Tygerland’ tramples over any attempt to be classified with Cary Grace equally at home across all rock genres.
