KAYAK – Out Of This World (2021)
Over the course of a career that so far spans 48 years, KAYAK have established themselves as one of Holland’s most successful rock bands, with a loyal, international fan-base. Their mix of progressive with melody and AOR touches are pretty unique here and now 2021.
And now there’s ‘Out Of This World’, the band’s eighteenth studio album, with 15 new tracks, spanning 70 minutes of energetic and incredibly diverse material: luxury midtempo, moving ballads, adventurous epics, solid rock and sophisticated melodies – it’s all there, and more. Just what Kayak is all about.
We love this band, “Out Of This World” is just another great recording in Kayak’s history. If you are like me and have a broad musical palette that embraces progressive-rock but also a melodic and almost AOR side, one that embraces big melodic and anthemic gestures, you’ll like this.
If you delight in musical talent but also the song itself, particularly those with compositional cleverness built in, you’ll like this.
