A fervent prog-rock success from Stockholm-based artist Pacific Death, “The Art Of Stealing Tulips From The Devil’s Garden” presents the audible journey of a breathtaking mission — specifically: “the entire journey of a professional thief breaking into and stealing tulips from the devil’s heavily protected garden.” Sprightly woodwind-like maneuvering shows initially, launching seamlessly into a dexterous array of thunderous guitar lines. The dynamic, guitar-led production continues the entrancement from there, showcasing the gripping progressive rock sound from this one-man project.
While the project began as a more electronic pursuit, a more guitar-laden sound was introduced on Pacific Death’s second album. “The Art Of Stealing Tulips From The Devil’s Garden” continues that guitar-fronted enamoring in stellar form. An especially catching sequence comes in the ascent to the two-minute turn; playful guitars and shimmering organs launch cohesively into enveloping propulsions of guitar distortion. Pacific Death thoroughly impresses with this passionate, evolving rocker.
