Night Watch
Sunday December 8th, 2019 with Dav Fot
The Night Watch - An Embarrassment of Riches Full album-drop!

Mostly a mixed-bag, this time, starting out in the jazz/fusion territory... but quickly turning to psychedelia and Prog, finishing with the new album from Local prog heroes, The Night Watch... and we love them for more than just the similarity to this show's name! :)
Starting out in the jazz/fusion territory with a few more recent Canadian outings... and finishing with a track from Weather Report's storied bassist and a track from on of his solo LPs!

Now, finally, we get to local talents, The Nightwatch, and the full-album-drop of their latest, the all-instrumental 'An Embarassment of Riches' - to quote the Bandcamp: "The story loosely follows a nameless explorer who finds themselves shipwrecked on a seemingly deserted island. An Embarrassment of Riches is a towering and richly detailed journey through external and internal landscapes, where post/progressive/black/doom and folk metal weave their way through a tapestry of post-rock/folk/jazz and classical textures." Enjoy!
