October 28th 2023 Melodic Revolution is beyond ecstatic to introduce you to Emerald City Council, one of the finest new progressive rock outfits. Emerald City Council is an American progressive rock band that was formed in 2021 out of a recording project written and produced by saxophonist/keyboardist Brent Bristow.
About The Album: The debut album, Motion Carries, will be released in early 2024 on CD, Limited Edition Transparent Green Double LP, and Digital, as well as streaming on all popular channels. The debut clocks in at just over an hour and boasts nine original tracks. The music is nothing short of sublime, and I always feel uncomfortable to compare a band’s music. That said, this band will appeal to fans of Able Ganz, Flying Colors, Kansas, Seven Steps to the Green Door, Proto-Kaw, Native Window, Alan Parsons Project, Transatlantic, and Fish On Friday. – Nick Katona President of Melodic Revolution
About Emerald City Council: The band features vocalist Jake Livgren (Proto-Kaw, Kerry Livgren), drummer Noah Hungate (The Band Perry, son of Toto’s David Hungate), Jeremy Nichols (Erin Coburn) on bass, up-and-coming guitarist Seth Hankerson, and saxophonist/keyboardist Brent Bristow (Professor of Music at Arkansas State University-Beebe). Brandon Goff, Associate Professor of Music Industry at Francis Marion University, has also contributed significant guitar work as a special collaborator to the band.
The album includes several guest appearances, including guitar solos from Paul Bielatowicz (Carl Palmer, Neal Morse), and Mike Thompson (The Sons of Kirk), plus contributions from actors Jeffery Combs (Star Trek, Re-Animator) and Steve Rankin (Star Trek, X-Files).
Multi-Grammy/Emmy-winning engineer and producer Jamie Tate, an important member of the ECC team, mixed and mastered the material at the Rukkus Room Studio in Nashville. Artist Thomas Ewerhard provided the cover artwork that perfectly captures the spirit of the music.
From a statement from the band: “On behalf of the Council, we are honored and excited to join the Melodic Revolution Records family. We are impressed by the MRR team’s enthusiasm for our music, and we are confident this partnership will help get our music to the right audience.”
Emerald City Council are: Jake Livgren-lead and backing vocals, keyboard Noah Hungate-drums Jeremy Nichols-bass Seth Hankerson-guitar Brent Bristow-saxophones, keyboards, recorder, guitar, vocals
Melodic Revolution is thrilled to announce that Tracks in Space the 5-track second solo effort debut album by Colin Carter is now officially available to purchase and stream worldwide.
“This new CD is more polished and focused than the “Colin Carter-One” recording, and if the songs have one thing in common through each of them, it’s a constant pulse. A dance beat! So, prepare to get those feet moving and hips swaying! “ – Colin Carter
“For the “Tracks In Space” project, Colin had been working long distance with Los Angeles guitarist and session player, George Keller. The album was begun during lockdown, so travel was limited and the two worked extensively online. The two clicked musically and the result is quite impressive.”

Pattern-Seeking Animals (PS-A) share another musical glimpse of their upcoming album, Spooky Action at a Distance, out on InsideOutMusic on October 27th.
With their new single “Somewhere North of Nowhere”, the US-based group delivers yet another catchy track with an animated and AI generated music video. “Somewhere North of Nowhere is a cheery little story of a guy on a spiritual journey who soon realizes he’s being followed. Might be preternatural forces, might be aliens, but he soon discovers something very, very bad is happening right over the horizon. It’s too late to turn around as the dire situation is only getting worse. Or, he could be hallucinating all of this…”
Watch the video to “Somewhere North Of Nowhere” here:
The album’s first single, “Window to the World”, that came out in August, immediately captivates with its high-energy, up-tempo art-rock infused with elements of ska and reggae. Demonstrating the band’s fearless approach to experimentation, the single introduces listeners to a sonic universe that is both innovative and nostalgic.
(CD 1) The Man Made of Stone Window to the World What Awaits Me He Once Was Underneath the Orphan Moon Clouds That Never Rain Bulletproof Somewhere North of Nowhere Summoned from Afar Love Is Still the Light
(CD 2) There Goes My Baby Orphans of the Universe (Live at ProgStock 2022) Elegant Vampires (Live at ProgStock 2022) Time Has a Way (Live at ProgStock 2022)* *CD & Digital album only
Spooky Action at a Distance is available in the following formats:• Limited 2CD Digipak* • Digital album* • 2LP Gatefold vinyl 180g**
*including 3 live bonus tracks from ProgStock 2022 **including 2 live bonus tracks from ProgStock 2022
Spooky Action at a Distancefinds Pattern-Seeking Animals more confident than ever, approaching new soundscapes and topics, showcasing their evolution, and commitment to pushing their own creative boundaries. John Boegehold explains, “Because this is our fourth release in less than five years, my intention was to shift gears and not go over ground that’s already been covered. In addition to using different sounds, textures and musical styles, we approached the vocals, especially backing vocals from a fairly different angle. In addition, the album was recorded, mixed and mastered at a different studio with a different engineer than our previous three releases.” The different approach is not only noticeable in production and sounds, but in the lyrics as well. “The subject matter of the lyrics include a Norse king contemplating life while being conquered, an aging seeker on the path toward enlightenment, aliens hunting down humans trying to evade capture, the life of a conflicted soldier before and after WW1, a pregnant teenager leaving a bad situation at home, a reluctant hero victorious in her final battle and a guy’s girlfriend who leaves him because of his conspiracy theories.”
About Pattern-Seeking Animals: Pattern-Seeking Animals (PS-A) is a pioneering force in the progressive rock genre, consistently pushing the boundaries of musical exploration. Having already left an indelible mark on the genre since their self-titled debut in 2019, Pattern-Seeking Animals weave captivating narratives into an eclectic soundscape that pushes the boundaries of creativity. Hailing from the lineage of the influential Spock’s Beard, Pattern-Seeking Animals features John Boegehold (keyboards and production), Ted Leonard (lead vocals and guitar), bassist Dave Meros, and the dynamic Jimmy Keegan on drums. Formed as a conduit for Boegehold’s visionary compositions, the band has evolved into a driving force of progressive exploration, crafting music that is both intricate and immediate.
