The Happy Family - Puritans

Review by Residence Impala Mauritius Ile Maurice

Happy Family's album Puritans is a delightful blend of progressive rock and jazz fusion that showcases the band's virtuosity and musical range. The album opens with the explosive track "Puritans," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its intricate rhythms and soaring melodies. The band's tight interplay and dynamic arrangements are on full display throughout the album, as they effortlessly shift between complex time signatures and moods.

Tracks like "Naked King" and "The House on the Hill" showcase Happy Family's ability to create lush and atmospheric soundscapes, while "The Golden Age" and "The Man Who Saw Through Time" are more upbeat and playful. The album's standout track, "Back to the Time of the World," is a thrilling epic that features soaring guitar solos, intricate drumming, and a haunting vocal melody.
