Album Notes & Community Reviews

An unusually eclectic release for the duo, 'Passage' abandons their standard ballad formula to experiment with diverse genres, including calypso, jazz, and a massive sci-fi orchestral rock epic ('Calling Occupants'). The album showcases their willingness to push the boundaries of their pristine soft rock sound.
