The Aristocrats w/Primuz Chamber Orchestra

This is hands-down the most innovative, unique, inspired, and engaging album from start to finish I’ve heard in a very long time. The Aristocrats are a badass 3-piece prog-fusion trio in their own right, but after coming across a video of this Polish orchestra covering one of their tunes, they connected and recorded this masterpiece. The string arrangements are truly next-level and they sound as though they were specifically composed for this music, not simply placed on top of it like many others that are added later.

And for a personal plug - I’m a drummer recently turned guitarist/bassist/producer/songwriter and I’ve been on a wild journey to expand and refine my musical worldview, including learning theory basics and pushing myself to creatively express with new instruments. Here’s my first attempt at a full-length album of 10 originals written, performed, and produced by me with a couple collabs and a cover featuring my wife’s lovely singing. There’s tons of mistakes and blemishes but I’m rather proud of it and I learned a ton throughout this process.
