Description/Reviews:

Síndrome de Estocolmo documents a series of events leading up to widespread draconian incarcerations by a state, and explores the theme of whether detainees would ever develop Stockholm Syndrome - an irrational compassion that victims form towards the captor. To depict the evolving story, songs on the album offer a variety of styles, including hard rock, avant-garde metal, classic progressive rock, alternative/pop art rock and psychedelic rock. Listeners will find a healthy dose of rich heavy guitars, ethereal sonic textures, interjected with emotional melodic lines.

Description/Reviews: 

Lucas Lee continues to forge ahead with his own unique blend of intelligent yet accessible music.
His upcoming fourth release Acceptances of Gravitational Collapsing Manifestations finds the Canadian-born instrumentalist and progressive rock master picking up where he left off with Business Brunch Specials: Uranium Omelet (with GMO-Free Brown Sauce). Now based in California, Lee again demonstrates his production and engineering acumen, while highlighting his wide-ranging musical palette by handling all the instruments with the exception of drums.
