Je horizon begint precies waar je gezichtsveld ophoudt. New horizons keep showing up, providing interesting and fresh sounds. Nor do the contours of their style seem sharp. This should hardly come as a surprise: Last Horizon’s music does not seem to abide by the laws of stillness. While the material on this demo varies quite a lot in style, it does not lack coherence–they somehow pull it off. They dominated the Dutch Grolsch Talent charts for months on end and the single ‘Time Will Tell’ has been added to a number of national hitlists. Their performance is genuine, energetic and inspiring. On stage the band is more than skilled enough to take the audience for a ride through a landscape of many musical moods. The singer’s voice makes one want to drift along with the songs’ nostalgic currents also in the more subtle songs, where the band switches from electric to more intimate instruments such as acoustic guitar and piano. Simultaneously, a lot of effort is put into sculpting melodies and harmonies to match. Now we just wanna go out there and do live shows.” The music reflects their determination based on a solid drum-and-bass-marriage, heavy guitars and screeching Hammonds evoke a sense of raw emotion. Think Floyd meets Toto meets Three Doors Down. Moreover, they do not ignore the pop and rock music of later generations. The influences of this foursome can be traced all the way back to the legendary British bands of the seventies. ‘Stillness’, it seems, is not among the bands virtues. The borders of Last Horizon’s oeuvre lack definition. This concept–a border that turns out not to be a border at all–can be translated to a musical context. Then, the stillness proves an illusion behind every horizon a new one emerges. The contours of the border seem well defined and sharp. In that sense, it marks the border between the visible and the invisible. It divides what you can see from what you cannot.
