Wake Pig
Not (thank the gods) the '80s delete-bin staple featuring ELP alumni Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer, this 3 is in fact a weird, proggy upstate New York band that pals around with COHEED AND CAMBRIA and gets compared to THE MARS VOLTA.

Make no mistake, while this is all acoustic, it's as lush, orchestrated, and enigmatic as any "electric" album from...January 2, 2006
