CD/DVD Releases: Presto Ballet Working On Third Release

Posted on Sunday, April 11 @ 23:00:00 UTC by nightowl

Presto Ballet, the project led by ex-Metal Church guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof, is currently working on its third album for a late summer release via ProgRock Records.

Presto Ballet released its second LP, The Lost Art Of Time Travel, in 2008 in the U.S. through ProgRock Records.

Presto Ballet features Vanderhoof alongside Scott Albright (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Bill Raymond (drums and percussion), Ryan McPherson (Hammond organ, piano, synths, lead and backing vocals) and Izzy Rehaume (bass, backing vocals).



Presto Ballet's music was previously described as "highly reminiscent of '70s prog rock, as the band was founded chiefly as a tribute to classic progressive bands such as Yes and Kansas. Their debut album, Peace Among The Ruins, was released in 2005 to general praise and considerable press. Critics consistently commented on the album's warm and organic sound, a feeling created through the use of analog recorders and vintage instruments, played with great skill and precision. The band used no drum machines, digital recorders or sequencers in the studio."
