Japanese-Brazilian progressive rock act Yasu release new single/video “My Spaceship Lost Control”

The Japanese-Brazilian trans progressive rock artist Yasu releases new single “My Spaceship Lost Control” on all streaming platforms. The track is a rock opera about an astronaut who finds his ship adrift in space, with death imminent. It’s a song full of metaphors about depression and mental health. The single has strong inspirations from bands such as Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Porcupine Tree and David Bowie.

With its unique fusion of sonic elements and cultures, Yasu promises a captivating musical experience that will take progressive rock fans on an exciting and unforgettable journey. The track is a celebration of creativity and diversity, reflecting their Japanese and Brazilian cultural heritage.

Their talent for combining complex sonic textures with engaging lyrics transports listeners into a richly detailed sonic world where the past and present intertwine in magical ways.

Combining progressive rock, new wave and pop music, Yasu has strong inspirations from prog artists on the more pop side, such as Supertramp, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Alan Parsons Project and Steven Wilson.

(review) The Dwarves – ‘Concept Album’

Legendary punk band The Dwarves are back with their brand new studio full length and 20 new songs for your listening pleasure. For those who don’t know, The Dwarves play mixture of melodic punk, hardcore and garage punk. Vocalist Blag Dahlia sounds better than ever and the band is musically tight delivering the songs as energy bomb, one after another. From melodic chorus of ‘Feeling great’, across hardcore punk fast ‘Voodoo’, The Dwarves deliver the goods. The Dwarves never cared about political correctness, having their deal of scandals over the years with album covers, death hoaxes, feuds and brawls with other bands. Besides Blag Dahlia, The Dwarves line-up also consists of celebrity drummer Josh Freese (Foo Fighters), legendary multi-instrumentalist Nick Oliveri (Kyuss) and dozens of rock luminaries. Other songs that I must mention as being highlights on this album for me are ‘Dead To Me’, playful sexy song, also ‘Roxette’, ‘Everybody Squirts’ and ‘We Will Dare’ but as I listened album over and over every time something else springs forth making this a great listening pleasure. Go listen to The Dwarves if you dare!
