Progressive Rock legends Echolyn released their two critically acclaimed new albums TimeSilentRadio vii & TimeSilentRadio II earlier this year on March 7, 2025 ~ coincidentally on the 30th Anniversary of their 1995 Sony/Epic Records release As The World. The band recently shared a performance video for “Water In Our Hands, part 6” from #TRSII, and are now pleased to share another new video from #TSRvii for the track “On We Blur,” premiering today on The Prog Report.
The band shared this about the track:
“The lyrics to “On We Blur” deal with bad bosses and upper management and how their lack of leadership and communication, coupled with zero signs of empathy towards others, can turn a great staff of workers into a really bad one. Sometimes you try pushing through the dark days, but eventually even that becomes way too much to handle. Working angry and bitter is not healthy for anyone. “All the voices tell me to ignore it, but my own won’t let it be; the air don’t care whose lungs it’s filling, so on we blur…”
It’s an upbeat, in-your-face, contemporary track that features echolyn’s classic multi-part vocal harmonies, clever and intricate instrumental counterpoint, and infectious melodies you’ll be humming for days.
Rave reviews for both albums continue to roll in, with online music resources like Progressive Music Planet saying “echolyn have outdone themselves with not one but two amazing albums. Prog rock fans need to hear both of these albums. TimeSilentRadio vii features 7 classic wonderfully melodic tracks that harken back to the band’s rich history…while TimeSilentRadio II has two epic songs that rank with any classic prog-rock epics from the 70s. If you need proof that prog is alive and well, echolyn has the evidence.”
Recent album reviews by fans also continue to sing the praises of both TSR albums: “Music that echoes with some of the most beautiful, profound, and deeply contemplative emotions that exist within the human soul. When all that’s left is time, we reflect upon the past as we work through traumas and live for a beautiful tomorrow.” (Andy Ryan)
“echolyn have been in my life since the 1990’s when I was blown away by ‘as the world.’ Ever since then they have continued to put out thoughtful, creative music but on these latest albums it’s like a rich gravy that has been reducing over a low flame. I am simply blown away by the taste, restraint, musicality and heart in this collection of songs. ‘Water in Our Hands’ is a fitting finale to an epic achievement.” (Jon Dahms)
and “The two TSR albums are my favorite new music in 2025. The lyrics are great and the band is tight. I have recommended the albums to many of my friends, particularly musicians.” (Jim Peacock)
