“Occasionally downbeat and introspective – but there’s also an excitement that’s genuinely uplifting”: Stuckfish’s IV is another winner

Stuckfish’s last album, 2022’s Days Of Innocence, garnered much positive feedback. Although healthily varied, it primarily delivered great melodic rock with strong prog

roots. With the band having signed to dedicated prog label White Knight and welcomed new keyboardist Paul McNally since then, their new release, the minimally titled IV, comes with some level of expectation – on which it delivers.
