The WireDec 9, 2020Nightcap further distinguishes them as more than a clever amalgam of Dead tropes. The shifting time signatures and dramatic dynamics of “Wasted Time” suggest a fondness for Gabriel-era Genesis while the courtly melody and stentorian storytelling of “Altered Place” conjure thoughts of The Moody Blues at their late 1960s zenith.

The effect is more like a suite than a collection of tracks, a bravura show of musical prowess that winds through moods, time signatures and keys.
