                                                                 76:23

        Some bands have been around so long that they basically just make music
        for their established fanbase, and thatÆs fine. It means that you know
        exactly what youÆll get whenever they release a new album. Mostly Autumn
        launched Seawater on February 28th, and if you like the bandÆs past
        albums, youÆll like this, too.

        Mostly Autumn comes to us from the UK; they are well-known for their
        ensemble progressive folk demeanor. The lineup on this album, I believe,
        is Bryan Josh on guitars, Olivia Sparnenn on vocals, Iain Jennings on
        keys, Chris Johnson on guitars, Andy Smith on bass, Angela Gordon on
        flute and keys, and Henry Rogers on drums. Troy Donockly guests on
        uilleann pipes and low whistle.

        If you are familiar with the band, you already know what this album
        sounds like, essentially. Their music is classy, homey, mildly Floydian
        prog rock with lots of warm feelings, uplifting lyrics, and epic guitar
        solos. YouÆll also know that a major highlight of their sound is the
        OliviaÆs vocal performance, which is through the roof again this time.
        I will say that Bryan sings more often on this release, which feels a
        little odd, but itÆs still good. Also, the drumming from Henry Rogers is
        exceptionalùI loved his work with DeeExpus and his style is always a
        highlight.

        Seawater is yet another love song to the bandÆs fans. In my view, the
        current era of the band started back in 2018 with the masterpiece White
        Rainbow, and 2021Æs Graveyard Star felt like a lesser version of it.
        Seawater falls somewhere in the middle, still feeling like an extension
        of White Rainbow but having enough of its own character to get me
        interested. They give the fans what they want, and they make the music
        they enjoy. I canÆt fault them for that.

        Now, the record is technically a double album, but IÆve only heard the
        first disc, the album proper. The second disc is a bonus album which I
        hear is quite good. The first disc runs 76 minutes, though, so there is
        more than enough Mostly Autumn here. It has ten songs, and I feel like
        each half ends with the best tracks on the album.

        The first half starts with ôLetÆs Take a Walkö, a welcoming piece with
        terrific guitar work. The rest of this part of the album is quite
        whimsical and nostalgic; songs like ôRemember All the Rainö feel like
        earnest exhortations, and I like that. Songs like ôWhen We Ranö seem
        like someone looking back on their life, and on their current
        relationships, and feeling thankful. ItÆs the kind of thing we need. The
        final track in this half is ôIf Only For a Dayö, the big vocal track for
        Olivia; this one really delivers in that towering singer-songwriter
        style that she does so well, but IÆll say that the subtle keys really
        enhance the experience, and the huge guitar solo at the end is amazing.

        The second half of the album is somewhat darker, I think. ôWhen Nations
        Collideö is a little apprehensive, and ôMarsö feels like a wish to leave
        this planet. ôMy Homeö, though, is warm and fuzzy, and I really like it;
        the song is catchier than I realized on first listen. ôFuture Is a
        Childö is a hopeful and pretty epic itself, but the closer ôSeawaterö is
        basically worth the price of admission by itself. This piece is twenty
        minutes long and has some of the darkest shades IÆve heard from the band
        since The Ghost Moon Orchestra. I love the slight spine-tingling, almost
        Halloween vibes that rise after a few minutes, and it feels troubled and
        tumultuous; the eerie organ and cinematic shadows work so well to
        communicate this. ItÆs easily one of the best songs theyÆve ever
        produced.

        Seawater is, perhaps, more of the same, but thatÆs basically what a band
        thirty years old does, usually. Their physical edition already sold out
        and the fans are eating it up, so what more could they want? The album
        has some major highlights and will leave you with a storm of feelings,
        and so Mostly Autumn appears to be as effective as ever.
