Titan - Sweet Dreams (CD)

Titan:  Brooklyn, New York.

Brooklyn's Titan specializes in the right kind of prog that builds and evolves upon their heavy guitar and keyboard riffs without seeming like a crew of musicians freshly out of music class. Their Relapse debut is the first to feature ivory-tickler extraordinaire (and Maserati member) Steve Moore on bass and synth.

Brooklyn's TITAN specialize in crafting epic rock jams; smokey, sprawling stretches of sweet riffs, swirling synths, and all the right kinds of rock bombast. They have an instinctual grasp on tension and release, with each song building to several emotional crescendos before ebbing, only to repeat in the most compelling of ways. Sweet Dreams, and especially the track 'Wooded Altar Beyond the Wander', prove that TITAN is one of America's finest rock exports.
