More information: Argos’ latest album marks a new chapter in the band’s illustrious career. The album is a sonic journey that balances profound introspection with moments of levity, exploring the dualities of existence. With lush melodies, intricate instrumental passages, and evocative lyrics, "Halfway Between Heaven and Mirth" captures the essence of Argos’ musical evolution.
It features astonishing guest appearances by Andy Tillison (keyboards), Marek Arnold (saxophone), who also co-produced and mixed the album, and Alexei Tolpygo (violin) who had played bass on their last tour. Remarkably, the new album includes an ambitious, multi-part long-track, 'Daedalus Machines', that will delight both old and new fans of the band.
