Formed in 2012, Pisa-based Eveline's Dust is yet another young group to come out of Italy's thriving prog scene. The band are inspired by classic English groups such as King Crimson and Genesis, as well as Italian symphonic giants Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, and, more prominently, modern prog icon Steven Wilson.
The band's debut EP, Time Changes, released in 2013, first established their decisively modern sound. With a symphonic base, rooted in the neo-prog style, Eveline's Dust are not afraid to experiment a little and move past the typical preconceptions of the neo-prog genre. Their music often veers into heavier, almost metal-like territory, and at times even showcases slight jazz rock tendencies. 2016 saw the release of Eveline's Dust's first full length album, The Painkeeper. A concept work, The Painkeeper continued to develop the band's distinctive sound.
INTERNET REVIEW ; This is my first exposure to Eveline’s Dust so I had no idea what I was heading into when I gave it a spin. What i immediately noticed is that this is an album drenched in Porcupine Treeness, with a nice helping of Spock’s Beard in places. This, to me, is a good thing. After i finished this one, I went back and listened to their first album, The Painkeeper (2016), and found it to be a bit more laid back (Well… they had an EP, called Time Changes (2012) before that). This one has a harder edge to it, so naturally I dig it a lot more.
The band is: Nicola Pedreschi on keyboards & vocals, Lorenzo Gherarducci on guitar & backing vocals, Marco Carloni on bass and Angelo Carmignani on drums. In addition to the guests listed below on the song Faintly Falling, they also have Federico Avella supplying soprano sax & transverse flute.
Starting things off is A New Beginning, with a little quirky guitar riff and keys before throwing in some chunky guitar and then tearing into some Spock’s styl....... more
