Kite Parade - Disparity (2024)
Kite Parade’s Disparity is a highly engaging crossover prog album, weaving together thoughtful lyrics about societal issues and wealth inequality with lush, melodic instrumentation. Andy Foster’s intricate compositions balance upbeat, accessible prog-rock moments with deeper, reflective tracks. The album features standout performances from guest vocalists such as Christina Booth (Magenta) and Lynsey Ward (Exploring Birdsong), who bring emotional depth to tracks like "Broken" and "Is This All There Is?" Musically, it shifts between pop-like exuberance, such as in "This World Is Mine," and more somber, complex pieces like "Forgotten Youth." The instrumental interludes and dynamic shifts give the album a cinematic feel, making it a compelling listen for progressive rock fans(T P A)(ProgVisions)(The Prog Report)(T P A).
