Our Take

Cressida's latest album, "Asylum," is a delightful journey into the outer reaches of prog-rock whimsy. This British band has been flying under the radar for far too long, but with this album, they are poised to make a big splash in the music world.

From the first notes of the opening track, "Psych Ward Boogie," it's clear that Cressida is not afraid to push the boundaries of conventional music. The band's unique blend of intricate melodies, soaring vocals, and off-kilter rhythms creates a sound that is both familiar and strange at the same time.

Tracks like "Lunatic Lullaby" and "Madness Incarnate" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend elements of folk, jazz, and classical music into their own brand of psychedelic rock. The result is a mesmerizing listening experience that will leave you breathless.

But it's not just the music that sets Cressida apart – it's the band's quirky sense of humour that really makes them stand out. From the album artwork, featuring a whimsical depiction of a mental hospital overrun by musical instruments, to the hilarious liner notes detailing the band's fictional journey through the asylum, it's clear that Cressida doesn't take themselves too seriously.

Overall, "Asylum" is a triumph of imagination and creativity. Cressida have crafted an album that is at once thought-provoking and wildly entertaining. So grab your straightjacket and strap yourself in for a wild ride – Cressida is here to take you on a musical journey like no other.
