Pattern-Seeking Animals a.k.a. Spock's Beard Redux return in less than a year with their sophomore juggernaut Prehensile Tales. Ted Leonard and gang collectively bring their A games to the studio and deliver a surprisingly delightful and engaging album to combat the doldrums of current pandemic uncertainties. Leonard is simply fantastic behind the microphone and quickly moving up the ladder of who's who elite progressive rock vocalists, complimented quite effectively on harmonies by Jimmy Keegan. John Boegehold's songwriting is top shelf throughout the track list diverse with spiritual awakening, vampires and sinking ships. Raining Hard In Heaven opens the album with a get up on your feet bass groove, a rather calculated risk that pays off for its uptempo sincerity. Unlike its predecessor, the musicianship here is far more expansive including well suited timed horns and strings, adding a little color and pizazz to Here in My Autumn and later in the spaghetti western vibing Why Don't We Run. Lifeboat and Soon But Not Today are extended long playing progged out to the maximum concluding tracks that entertain without pretension or self-indulgence. Pattern-Seeking Animals may have just conquered the most fun prog rocker of 2020.
