The Review:

The Seventh Season were formed back in Moscow in 1972. Now 20 years later and a move to the USA, the now father/son combination of Yuri Batygin (father) and Konstantin (son) have returned with music mix of folk, classic rock, art rock, sometimes glam rock and new wave. The lyrics are sometimes in an 'accented' English, sometimes in Russian. I must admit the vocals are a tough thing to get through but the music has the 70’s vibe going for it makes up for that.

I would put The Seventh Season in the same breath as Phideaux, Wilton Said to name a few. All of these bands seem to corner the 70’s sound without sounding retro or forced.

This is a hard thing to recommend but if you like the more DIY sound, then you’re in for a treat. Some highlights to me are 'Commando' and 'Army Of Reason' with it’s classic rock appeal. All the rest are as good but in different ways. If you want your music that’s not all glossy and layered, then The Seventh Season is the band for you. I would recommend this band and their album ‘Fall Within’ as something to seek out.
