Nick Prol & the Proletarians - An Erstwisle Alphabestiary, Book 1 (2020)

The second album by Nick Prol & The Proletarians is a sophisticated fusion of avant-garde rock, punk, and pop melodies, heavily influenced by Robert Fripp’s legacy and the RIO (Rock in Opposition) movement. The compositions are defined by high-density arrangements, rapid time signature shifts, and virtuoso performances from prominent progressive music guests. Structurally, the album functions as an alphabetical bestiary (covering tracks A through L) that explores a surreal afterlife dimension known as the isle of Erstwisle. The work is characterized by conceptual depth, meticulous production, and a unique balance between extreme complexity and melodic accessibility. Highly acclaimed by genre icons, this release stands as a significant milestone in contemporary experimental music.
