“Founded in 2018 in Łódź, Let See Thin released their debut album 2Years 2Late at the end of 2020. The band say that they perform music 'from the borderland of progressive rock, art rock and crossover prog'. This is a description that I agree with, but I would add that there is also a strong alternative rock feel, and some classic rock elements too.
Let See Thin's 2Years 2Late is very song-focused with strong melodic choruses and verses that often have good solos without anything extraneous. Everything is precise, passionately serving the well-structured tunes. They mix guitars and keyboards to great effect over a driving rhythm section, giving the music a restless energy that is topped-off by a strong vocalist.
Most of the songs on 2Years 2Late manage to avoid overt predictability but I feel they are at their best when they are upping the inventiveness. For instance on Time, a prog ballad mixing hand percussion and swathes of keyboards, or on To The Stars with its Radiohead-like cleverness. There are interesting solos and musical touches throughout, like the Phil Collins-style drum pattern that introduces Leave, along with the post-rock build and release of Mist.
Let See Thin's 2Years 2Late is a release of robust alt-rock-inflected prog that reminds me of a harder-edged (in terms of the guitars) Pineapple Thief. As a debut it leaves me intrigued, as I can't quite see where Let See Thin will go on their next release. Will it be down a heavier prog path to Riverside or Osada Vida territory, or to a less avant art rocking Radiohead land (or it could be both)? Either would be thought-provoking, and whichever way they go, I'm sure that Let See Thin will, as on this release, make whichever way they go, their own.”-DPRP
