Our Take

Picture a futuristic space journey where prog-rock meets electronica, and you'll find yourself in the galaxy of HAKEN's latest album, "Affinity." This eclectic mix of synths, guitar riffs, and mind-bending time signatures will have you questioning reality and tapping your feet at the same time.

The opening track, "The Endless Knot," sets the tone with its dynamic shifts and intricate instrumentals that pull you in from the get-go. Vocalist Ross Jennings showcases his impressive range throughout the album, effortlessly blending soulful melodies with prog-rock theatrics.

Tracks like "1985" and "Earthrise" transport you to a retro-futuristic world where the past and future collide in a sonic frenzy. The band's technical prowess is on full display, with each member flexing their musical muscles in a dazzling display of virtuosity.

But it's not all serious business on "Affinity." Tracks like "The Architect" and "Bound By Gravity" inject a healthy dose of quirkiness and humor into the mix, reminding listeners not to take themselves too seriously.

In conclusion, HAKEN's "Affinity" is a genre-bending masterpiece that will leave you wanting more. So grab your space suit, buckle up, and get ready for a wild ride through the cosmos with HAKEN as your guide.
