“The Orphan Epoch is the tenth album from Cosmograf and probably his most diverse work to date. It's a set of songs that speak of a refusal to conform, align, or coalesce. It’s an expression of discontent, a statement of our times, but maybe also an instruction to refuse to accept binary choice and choose a path to walk alone. This is a new era of disconnection, disillusion and disinformation.
'Your perception will define your reality...'”
“This album represents some changes in Cosmograf. I mean, the sound is basically the same: progressive rock with some edge. But I sense something different, not so much an evolution as a full realization of the project’s style. Robin doesn’t seem shy about flexing his guitarist muscles anymore, and the keys, too, are gorgeous and played with aplomb. With the excellent rhythm section, towering saxophone spot, and continued strong lyrics, this album feels more completely Cosmograf.
The album addresses the divide that society wants to place between groups of people. This choice is most often binary, never nuanced or accounting for other ideas. They want to herd us into one of two labels, which I suppose would make it easier to control. The Orphan Epoch sets this as a foundation but then discusses young people and the disconnection and disinformation that is fed to them as they grow to become the next generation. What future awaits? Can the world handle such toxicity and lies?”-The Prog Mind
