More about 'Look At You Now'

Swedish progressive rock titans The Flower Kings return with their latest masterpiece "Look At You Now", a sprawling double album that showcases the band's unparalleled ability to blend intricate musicianship with deeply emotional storytelling. The album opens with "Beginners Eyes" and "The Dream", immediately establishing the band's signature sound of lush keyboards, soaring guitar work, and Roine Stolt's distinctive vocals. Tracks like "Hollow Man" and the epic 12-minute title track "Look At You Now" demonstrate the group's mastery of both intimate moments and grand symphonic passages that have made them legends in the progressive rock community.

The album's second half ventures into more experimental territory with "Seasons End" and "Stronghold", while maintaining the melodic sensibilities that have defined The Flower Kings' sound for over two decades. The production is crisp and spacious, allowing each instrument to breathe while creating a cohesive sonic landscape. Songs like "The Light in Your Eyes" and "Day For Peace" showcase the band's ability to craft memorable hooks within complex arrangements, proving that progressive rock can be both intellectually stimulating and emotionally accessible.
