Beardfish - Songs For Beating Hearts (2024)
Songs For Beating Hearts marks Beardfish’s powerful return after nearly a decade, delivering a rich tapestry of classic prog with an emotional core. The album is anchored by the 20-minute suite "Out in the Open," a multi-part epic blending intricate motifs and lush, narrative instrumentation. "Beating Hearts," an 11-minute centerpiece, showcases layered vocal harmonies, symphonic elements, and jazz-inspired passages, reinforcing the album’s exploration of themes like reunion and reconciliation. The tender duet "In the Autumn" and "Torrential Downpour," written about Rikard Sjöblom’s father, provide poignant reflections on love and loss, underpinned by organic, analog production. Songs For Beating Hearts stands as both an homage to Beardfish’s legacy and a forward-looking prog masterpiece
