Entering its most ambitious era to date, Refestramus expands its sonic and visual universe with Morri’s Rock Boutique, a surreal desert-western dreamscape filled with ferris wheels, neon temples, and wandering ghosts of memory. The album blends cinematic atmospheres with adventurous progressive rock, pushing the band’s storytelling and musical depth further than ever before. Powerplay calls the album, “Grown-up prog, full of great musicianship and songwriting.”
Morri’s Rock Boutique features standout contributions from Jan Christiana and Dyanne Potter Voegtlin (Octarine Sky), along with notable guest performances by David Jackson (Van der Graaf Generator), Rick Witkowski (Crack the Sky), Joe Deninzon (Kansas), Lynx (Old Blood), and Japanese vocalist Nam Chumo.
Refestramus are booking concerts and have confirmed they’ll be returning to the International Pop Overthrow in Chicago at the Montrose Saloon on April 25.
