Grus Paridae: Passes By

Grus Paridae is a Finnish duo consisting of Petteri Kurki (vocals, guitars, bass, synths, percussion) and Rami Turtiainen (vocals, guitars, bass, percussion, synths). Guest musician Jarno Koivunen helps out on violin and guitar. There first release is the CD single Passes By, consisting of two tracks.

From only two songs it is pretty hard to gauge this release but my first impressions are quite favourable. The first track "Passes By" starts off with a pretty acoustic guitar intro and fine lead vocals. I have to say the vocals are a high point for me. It remains mellow until some harder riffs break through returning to gentler notes once again. The strings add a layer of warmth to the sound and a tasty guitar solo ensues. Floyd seems to be a main influence. "Inheritance of Devotion" is slightly heavier with a cool violin intro and an overall psychedelic sound.

Grus Paridae have created two excellent tracks of modern progressive rock. Let's hope a full album is in the works soon.
