Syncope

Origin: Hull, Québec, 🇨🇦
Biography:

A septet that originated from across the river of the same name as the Ottawa capital, in a suburb of Hull, the same whereabouts of the CONNIVENCE collective (that recorded two excellent prog folk albums) came from. The group was formed in the second half of the 70's, during the outstanding Quebec prog boom, even though by the time SYNCOPE released their sole self-titled album, this movement had largely waned. Unfortunately, this was to be the group's sole album and unless the label ProgQuebec reissues this album, it'll likely unfortunately remain a very rare obscure prog gem. A real shame because those liking CHICAGO, LIGHTHOUSE, IF and to a lesser extent Blood Sweat & Tears would love this album.
