Progressive rock; Neo Prog
Latest: Hymns for Hungry Spirits, Vol. II (2023)
The View From Olympus (2019)
Great Wide Nothing are from Atlanta and clearly embrace progressive rock at its early 70s UK major group peak. Classic Yes and Genesis seem to be front and center and the vocals have that distinctive Fish neo prog edge to them. I like the woody bass sound, something that should be required for any up and coming prog group. Piano, organ, and analog synthesizers are also part of the recipe. And some fake mellotron. This is one of those oxymoronic retro / neo prog type acts. The standard bearer for such a phenomena would be Cliffhanger, that most wonderful Dutch band that largely went unnoticed. Good start here! Will check out their other albums eventually.
