The Great Silent, by ENINE (progressive rock, full-length, released February 15, 2018, Vladimir, Russia) Favourite track: The Curse of Dr. Caligari
The Swan Song, by Servants of Science British collective with a sound that somehow reminded me of both 80s new wave / shoegazer acts, Pink Floyd and Radiohead. Liked this so much after several spins that I have ordered the cd:
No idea wether it has been posted here already but Lifesigns' second album Cardington was my favourite prog release of 2017. The music has something of a Yes vibe and it is also very melodic. Production wise it sounds really good as well. This weekend I finally get to seem them live again, first time after the release of Cardington: Cardington, by Lifesigns
Gryreland, by Bomber Goggles (sympho-rock, full-length, physical CD available, releases March 21, 2018, Los Angeles, California) Favourite track: The Gyre
I love prog but a lot of the artists out there are lousy at writing lyrics. The music is great but poor lyrics always turn me off.
Well, if you don't like the lyrics that much but if you like instrumental side of current prog, there are lot of nice instrumental progressive rock albums that are newly released. For example, that ENINE's The Great Silent, which I've posted on the top of this page, is a magnificent instrumenal prog rock album without a doubt.
Odyssey, by Locochino (progressive funk-rock, 4-track EP, released March 1, 2018, Gainesville, Florida) Favourite track: Shprinkle
The new Jonathan's Dive by Edgar's Hair is released on a nice 2-LP gatefold set ... Jonathan's Dive | Edgar's Hair Album Review: Jonathan’s Dive by Edgar’s Hair
If your definition of prog rock stretches far enough to include some of the motorik sounds of pioneers like Amon Düül II, and some fun and funky space rock, you'd probably love the new Psychic Lemon Frequency Rhythm Distortion Delay. I have it on purple splatter vinyl from their German label ... What's your latest vinyl purchase?
Don't know about the music, but you sure have been posting a lot of cool cover art, some of them look very intriguing. The whole world is full of music these days, just a mountain of wonderful music that most of us will never hear, usually composed and performed and made available as a work of love moreso than for profit
FuDank I, by FuDank. (progressive fusion, 6-track EP, released March 5, 2018, Hamilton, New Zealand) Favourite track: Peace Grows Here

Della stessa sostanza dei sogni, by Homunculus Res (experimental rock / Canterbury style, full-length, released March 9, 2018 Palermo, Italy) Favourite track: La Cabala
Don't Pick Your Noise, by Them Moose Rush (progressive rock, full-length, physical CD & vinyl LP available, released March 9, 2018, Bjelovar, Croatia) Favourite track: Dreydribble
I, Cosmonaut, by Cracked Machine (space-rock, full-length, physical CD & vinyl LP available, releases May 1, 2018, UK) Favourite track: Svetlana
Zeuhl Jazz, by Sonata Islands Kommandoh (jazz-rock, full-length, released March 15, 2018, Milan, Italy) Favourite track: Offering Vander
Can't remember if this has been posted here but it sure does deserve wider exposure. Moonparticle is Niko Tsonev's new project on which he is helped by t keyboard player Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Steven Wilson), saxophonist Theo Travis (Robert Fripp, Steven Wilson), drummer Craig Blundell (Frost*, Steven Wilson), violinist Samy Bishai (Natacha Atlas, Digitonal) and vocalist Grog Lisee (Die So Fluid, Ozzy Osbourne). Tsonev himself is an ace guitar player having played with Steven Wilson (Grace For Drowning tour and live-dvd) and British progrock outfit Lifesigns. Musically this is not your standard guitar player solo-album but a well thought out album with compositions that sometimes have a Canterbury touch to them. Available both as download, CD and vinyl: Hurricane Esmeralda, by Moonparticle
Neverbody EP, by Neverbody (instrumental progressive rock, 3-track debut EP, released March 10, 2018, Liverpool, UK) Favourite track: But Only For A Moment...
This has been in constant rotation in my car for a couple of weeks now. Easily one of my favorites of recent releases. Went to get their debut album but it's only available by CD...no digital download unfortunately. Guess I'll just have to get physical media for this...
Lifesigns. I have the debut and I guess I don't "get" it. It's nice, it's pleasant, but some of it reminds me of 80s rock like Mr. Mister. I'm not even sure I'd call it neo-prog. Most of the songs are really long but are very vocal oriented and don't strike me as being particularly progressive rock. Is the second album more instrumental or is it fairly similar to the debut?
