Velcrocranes' latest album, "What If I Die" released on October 27th, 2023, marks a departure from their previous work, establishing the band as a force in the hard prog genre. Led by Efim's soul-stirring vocals, the ensemble, including producer Nikita, guitarist Alex, bassist Bogdan, and songwriter Liza, presents a nine-track masterpiece exploring the profound themes of life, death, and the human experience.
This
genre-defying LP seamlessly blends jazz, electronic, and prog-rock influences,
creating a dynamic and engaging sonic landscape. The pre-released singles,
"Step Aside," "Hold Your Breath," and "Afterlife, Pt.
2," delve into emotions of fear, discrimination, and tolerance, mirroring
the album's overarching theme. The intricate instrumental elements, from
haunting vocals to intricate guitar work, showcase the band's collective talent
and creativity.
Velcrocranes'
evolution, from a small jazz ensemble to a progressive rock powerhouse, is
evident in their growth and willingness to experiment. Collaborating with
keyboardist Adam Holzman of Steven Wilson's band adds an extra layer of
brilliance to their debut album. With its thought-provoking lyrics and
impressive musicianship, "What If I Die" stands as a testament to
Velcrocranes' artistic prowess, appealing to fans of progressive and hard rock
alike. The album is a must-listen, available on all streaming platforms.
