Lukas Tower Band (Germany): A Prophecy
(Transformer LTBCD06, CD, 2025)
Progressive
If I had to sum up A Prophecy in a single word, it would be ‘refined’. My second would be ‘sophisticated’. As usual, the band use classic poems as the basis of their lyrics, and their gentle, folky, subtly jazzy settings reflect the words admirably. The results, whilst charming and accomplished, can occasionally be a little dainty, particularly in the first half of the album, making me welcome the rock strength they begin to demonstrate in the second GRADE: C+.
