Album Description

Throughout Avalon, Roxy Music's signature blend of glam rock's swagger and art rock's experimentation is on full display. The result is an album that is both timeless and quintessentially of its era. With its lush textures and introspective atmosphere, Avalon is an album that rewards repeated listens, inviting fans to immerse themselves in its richly detailed world. As a work of sonic art, Avalon remains a landmark in Roxy Music's illustrious discography, and its influence can still be felt today.

About Roxy Music

Roxy Music, formed in 1970 by the charismatic Bryan Ferry and bassist Graham Simpson, are an iconic English rock band that seamlessly blended glam rock and art rock to create a unique and influential sound. With their debut album in 1972, Roxy Music introduced a stylistically restless and postmodern breed of art rock that captivated audiences. The band's distinctive lineup included saxophonist Andy Mackay, guitarist Phil Manzanera, drummer Paul Thompson, and the innovative synthesizer player Brian Eno, who together crafted a fully textured sound and lush instrumentation that set them apart from mainstream rock.

Known for their sophisticated and often experimental musicianship, Roxy Music's music is marked by arch humor, world-weary romanticism, and a distinctive visual and musical sophistication. The band's discography is a treasure trove of hits, from the glamorous "Love is the Drug" to the ethereal "Avalon," each song telling a story that resonates with fans. Roxy Music's influence extends beyond their music, pioneering elements of electronic music, new wave, and sophisti-pop, and leaving an indelible mark on the music industry. Their live performances are legendary, and they continue to tour, bringing their timeless music to new generations of fans.
