The Tangent's 10th studio album, entitled "Proxy", is a riot of juxtopposing styles, presented in a really direct manner and despite being firmly rooted in the stylistic traits of the Progressive Rock Genre takes some unexpected turnoffs and a major swerve.

Recorded during the band's tour with Karmakanic in 2017/18, there were more chances than normal to work together on the record (hotel writing sessions, van discussions, soundcheck ideas), all of which have allowed the band to make an album that is organic and as close to being that band as has happened to the group of far flung members since they began their career 15 years ago.

The albums kicks off with a trademark Tangent prog fantasia based around growling Hammonds, shrieking Synths, whirling guitars and sharp percussive bass - influences of ELP, Egg, Hatfields, Caravan and Camel proudly worn on the sleeves.

The Tangent came of age some time ago now. This album is the next step on the road from a band who have painstakingly revered and recreated the past, with one eye on the future.
