The Greek band Ciccada was formed back in 2005. With the aid of numerous guest musicians they recorded their debut album "A Child in the Mirror", a production that was picked up by the Italian label Altrock and released by it in 2010. "The Finest of Miracles" is their second studio recording, released in 2015.
The cornerstone of their style appears to be rooted in progressive folk rock, with gentle, pastoral sequences a recurring feature throughout. Wandering acoustic guitars with flute or violin are the main additional features, on occasion actually shifting towards a purebred folk-music expression, and then a medieval and English one at that. They will also shift gears to a more vibrant expression, with drums, bass and firmer guitars added in to create more of a Jethro Tull-oriented sound. On multiple occasions brief sequences are obvious nods in the direction of that band. But they will also shift to an expression more similar to what one might describe as chamber rock, with references to both medieval classical and folk music, as well as to contemporary classical music. That the band cites Gryphon as an influence is revealing in that context, at least as far as the more medieval parts of that expression are concerned. But this is a band that also will venture out into more directly symphonic-oriented landscapes, with classic organ- and guitars-driven passages that may remind ever so slightly of classic Kansas in terms of expression, especially when the violin is used in those constellations. But vintage keyboards and Mellotron will also be used in those passages for a less obvious expression, as far as possible sources of inspiration are concerned, especially when the more typical classical music instruments are made a part of those arrangements as well. On a final note we're also treated to occasional excursions into territories with somewhat more of a jazz-oriented tinge to them, and especially when those are combined with fairly complex vocal arrangements; those who know and love their Gentle Giant should find these passages to be familiar-sounding territory.
