“Another Age”

shows us another side of his musical character. The progressive tendencies only hinted at in the earlier “Piles” are in full bloom with this song. Dazzling keyboard passages are among the highlights of this extended track and the drumming, once again, gives the song a rhythmic foundation that carries it through. The canvas, however, is much larger than before. Piket never fails to fill it, however, with a compelling spectrum of colors and it holds your attention until the end.

Everything is Different is the right album for this point in Joe Piket’s musical journey. COVID has hit the reset button for many of us, in many ways, and these eight songs set a definitive tone of possibility going forward from here. It has the imagination, skill, and daring to stand out in a crowded musical landscape.
