Harmony (Iamthemorning) (LP 2795)

Iamthemorning  Lighthouse (CD, Kscope Records, 2016) ***  

Genre: Prog rock

Places I remember: Fopp

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Lighthouse

Gear costume: Matches 

Active compensatory factors: Iamthemorning is a Russian duo, comprising
singer Marjana Semkina and pianist Gleb Kolyadin. Lighthouse is their third album.

I must have read a review in Prog Rock magazine and decided to check it out while visiting London.

The vocals of Marjana are interesting - more Jacky's sort of thing than mine (this is one of the rare albums she enjoys), and Gleb's piano is of the minimalist school, which I like.

Other prog musicians guest on Lighthouse, notably Gavin Harrison and Colin Edwin from Porcupine Tree, and Mariusz Duda from Riverside. 

It's a three-star rating from me because while a lot of it sounds pleasant/beautiful and it works well in the background (and Jacky likes it), it doesn't stay long in the memory for me.

Where do they all belong? A one off (goes in the Jacky section of the collection)
