SWAPPERS ELEVEN - From a Distance

Studio Album, released in 2020

Excellent, the first album of the international neo-progressive formation will please all lovers of progressive playing from Pendragon, through such formations as Arena, Galahad, Marillion. But this is not any imitation. The formation has developed its unique style, and an impressive set of musicians created a progressive work tailored to the 21st century. SWAPPERS ELEVEN was created by the three winners of the Marillion‘s Swap The Band contest, which took place as part of the "MARILLION WEEKEND" in different years and on different continents. This is Allesandro Carmassi, Luiz Alvim and Gary Foalle. They also invited 14 musicians from different countries.
