Astronoid
This Massachusetts band made quite a few waves with their 2016 release
simply entitled
Air, with many attempting to wrap their heads around
this quite unique band.
Musically, the band seems to operate in a sort of proggy, post-metal,
vaguely black-metal-influenced
world, with a majestic wall-of-sound style that clearly evokes
mid-period
Devin Townsend Project (an admitted influence), not that these guys are cloning Devin.
Conversely, the vocals (arguably the make-or-break feature of the group)
are ethereal, clean, harmonized, and
decidedly un-metallic,
which may be a good or bad thing depending on one's mood, but they
are defintely unique.
There is considerable musical chops on display, yet not so much
in a show-off way.
One of the more unique albums to emerge in years, it'll be interesting
to see how/if they progress.
