They must be putting something in the Fosters, because the Land Down Under seems to be cranking out cool musical acts like it's going out of style. Your Song of the Day this evening, a bit of instrumental prog, adds another name to that growing list.
Kettlespider are purveyors of some very Dream Theater-flavoured instrumental prog -- think big melody lines and keyboards that aren't just for atmosphere, less most of the John Petrucci guitar acrobatics -- and their latest recording effort sees them taking to the studio for some live videos like the one for today's song.
Despite its definite progginess, "Evolution" feels almost post-rock to me, in the sense that its eight-minute-plus running time constitutes a musical journey that builds momentum as the song goes on. It's a little less "metal" than some of their earlier work, but it's still a cool collection of proggy parts, and a promising sign of things to come for this young band.
