Superhouse

TECHyes

This local quartet’s 16-song sophomore LP is angled as a “rock opera,” and the soulful vocal harmonies of opener “Sacred Rings” are certainly an interesting warm-up. Stylistically, TECHyes is all over the place, from Latin to prog lite (“The Courageous Confidence Character”), leaving the listener a bit light-headed. Still not sure what the “concept” is however. Robots? The future? Unicorns? Ambitious in length and scope, but fun to dance to.
