Two years after The Quest, Yes have released a new album. Fifty-five years after their birth, it certainly shows that the British band are still going strong – although none of the original members remain, the last of them, Chris Squire, having died of leukaemia in 2015. Carried by the voice of fifty-year-old Jon Davison, Mirror to the Sky ticks most of the boxes of this cult progressive rock band’s hallmark sound, starting with instrumental virtuosity. This is apparent in the All Connected track (and in particular during its long intro), in which veteran Steve Howe’s guitars seem to be rooted in time. In addition to the great progressive rock moments that make up this track and Mirror to the Sky, the album also features a few “wiser” passages, such as the ballad Circles of Time and the very classic rock song Living Out Their Dream. As for the lyrics, they remain faithful to the ecological concerns the group have maintained since their debut. Let's first quote the opening track, the very compelling Cut From The Stars. Its lyrics were inspired by Jon Davison's visit to the Dark Sky Park at the Joshua Tree National Park in California. This type of park aims to eradicate light pollution. Light is also one of the red threads of Luminosity, another new work by Yes. Finally, it is important to note that the album is dedicated to Alan White, the band's drummer from 1972, who sadly passed away in 2022. ©Nicolas Magenham/Qobuz
