Red Sand is a prog band from Québec City who sing in English. Their seventh album 1759 (mini-LP sleeve) was released in the last days of 2016. Bandleader Simon Caron says it’s the best Red Sand album yet, and that may not be hyperbole. In the beginning, Red Sand were very influenced by Fish-era Marillion. They went through a period of incorporating other prog styles before reverting to their pure Marillion style for a couple albums. Not that 1759 doesn’t sound a lot like early Marillion much of the time, but there is more diversity here, with elements more reminiscent of classic prog. Kind of what Red Sand did on Gentry only with a different result. About the album title, in Québec City the city’s history is all around you, and 1759 was the year of the pivotal battle between British and French forces. While the British victory would shape eastern Canada, Québec City remains the center of Francophone culture in North America.
