Released by the Frontiers Music label, this collaboration marks a thrilling expansion beyond his legendary work with Yes, showcasing his continued evolution as a musical visionary. Founded by Richie Castellano a decade ago, The Band Geeks initially gained fame through their YouTube covers and evolved into a celebrated live act. Their partnership with Anderson, which began with a tour of Yes classics, has now blossomed into this new and exciting project. True opens with 'True Messenger,' an inspiring track that combines soaring acoustic guitar with evocative lyrics, setting the stage for a remarkable auditory journey. The album transitions through a diverse array of influences, from vibrant African rhythms to 80s-inspired beats, and even an unexpected waltz. The standout track, 'Shine On,' features pulsating bass, intricate guitar riffs, and powerful Hammond organ, creating a rich, epic soundscape. The album's more serene moments, such as 'Build Me An Ocean' with its beautiful piano and flamenco guitar, contrast with the intense energy of tracks like 'Still a Friend,' which offers a nod to Italian progressive rock. The 16-minute epic 'Once Upon a Dream' combines orchestral strings, Middle Eastern motifs, and classic Yes influences, demonstrating Anderson's deep musical roots. True is a sophisticated and vibrant release, beautifully presented in a gatefold translucent orange vinyl 2xLP edition, highlighting Anderson's continued brilliance and his ability to reinvent himself while honouring his past.
