Shrine of New Generation Slaves

Riverside

A masterfully paced blend of 70s organ-drenched rock and modern prog. Deeply melodic, slightly cynical, and perfectly suited for the lonely hours of a city night.

It's like Pink Floyd and Deep Purple had a baby in a rainy 21st-century city.

A sophisticated and weary reflection on modern life, balancing gritty rock energy with deep, melodic sadness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the transition from the gritty opening riff of New Generation Slave into the soaring melodic chorus
the twelve minute slow burn of Escalator Shrine as it builds into a Hammond organ frenzy
the unexpected and smoky saxophone solo that drifts through the ambient Night Session tracks
