Myth of Progress - Myth of Progress

Debut Album Available Now!

 

A guitar driven instrumental psychedelic post-rock tribal fusion, combining heavy rock with a dash of reggae, prog, world music, and jazz. This isn't your parents fusion! The ability to record live loops paired with a guitar synth results in an amazingly full and layered sound for a trio.

Musically intense and relentless, Myth of Progress is meant to invoke the essence of why people start playing music in the first place, keeping it fun, exciting, and at times unpredictable where a song might go next. Using a song's arrangement and main theme as a launching point, it's like an adventure in the possibilities of sound, exploring the varying rhythms that can be found within a groove and the multiple melodies that can be drawn from a given chord progression. Stylistically covering a range across the psychedelic/progressive/post-rock/jam-band genres, drawing influence from both modern and older acts, underlying the sound you might hear elements of funk, dub reggae, latin, jazz, and world music, but it all falls nicely under a guitar driven heavy rock. An edgy and intense sound driven by pure emotion, the music is also inspired by the amazing land of the Pacific Northwest. With the willingness to explore musical territory not commonly heard, while never compromising the overall sound for the sake of "commercial viability", Myth of Progress is committed to creating some truly innovative modern instrumental rock.
