Fjord Focus 4/6/24

At the forefront of the Progressive Rock music movement since 1969, delivering engaging, innovative and skilfully crafted music, and coinciding with a string of 21 live dates across the USA and Canada, as part of the Heat Of The Moment Tour alongside other Progressive greats, Asia, Curved Air and Martin Turner - ex Wishbone Ash, Focus are set to release on Friday 5th July via Spirit Of Unicorn Music, 'Focus 12', and today's Video Of The Day is their first single, 'Fjord Focus', featuring an epic guitar solo from Menno Gootjes, which was recorded in just one take. Thijs van Leer has written the majority of the ten-track album, which also boasts some of Pierre van der Linden's greatest and most energetic drum sequences to date, as well as allowing the younger guard to take the audio reins for the first time, that sees 'Focus 12' produced by Gootjes and bass guitarist Udo Pannekeet, who also contribute two compositions on the album.
