The title track from Landscape, the new release by The Crystal Sun is available for free download from 12 Apostles here.

Landscape is steeped in the heavy neu-prog vibe that is destined to be the sound of summer. Its epic scope takes in the full gamut from delicate pastoral passages to motorik riffage and mellotron freak-out, united by a singular dedication to crafting a warm and all enveloping sound.

Recorded using a mixture of vintage and virtual instruments The Crystal Sun have forged an album that transcends mere nostalgia and instead pushes forward to explore contemporary themes such as alienation from, and disharmony with, the environment. Each track is carefully crafted, hinting at the old forms of progressive rock, psychedelia, and krautrock but delivered with a passionately modern sensibility. And through sheer unity of purpose the Crystal Sun have fused these disparate elements to create a balanced, coherent work that enthralls and delights.

Copies of the album can be ordered direct from 12 Apostles here.
