Our Take

If Gareth Southgate traded in his waistcoat for a pair of leather trousers and decided to start a rock band, it would sound something like PENG / NASHVILLE SO / SLATKIN's latest album, Mussorgsky/Pictures At An Exhibition. This eclectic fusion of classical music and rock vibes is as audacious as it is exhilarating.

The album kicks off with a bang as the opening track, "Promenade," sets the stage for the sonic journey that lies ahead. With its thunderous drums and distorted guitars, listeners are instantly transported to a world where Tchaikovsky meets The Who. It's a bold move, but one that pays off in spades.

Tracks like "The Gnome" and "The Old Castle" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend classical melodies with modern rock instrumentation. The result is a sound that is both timeless and contemporary, proving that classical music can rock just as hard as any electric guitar.

But it's not all about loud guitars and crashing cymbals. Tracks like "The Great Gate of Kiev" and "Bydlo" show a softer side to the band, with delicate piano flourishes and orchestral arrangements that tug at the heartstrings.

In conclusion, PENG / NASHVILLE SO / SLATKIN's Mussorgsky/Pictures At An Exhibition is a triumph of genre-bending genius. With its fearless approach to fusing classical and rock music, this album is a must-listen for music lovers of all stripes. So grab your air guitar and get ready to rock out to the sounds of Mussorgsky like never before.
