about

Oval Planet’s debut is an epic journey, mixing the sounds of ’70s symphonic prog with virtuoso musicianship. Led by GUITAR SYNTHESIZER explorer Pete Prown, Trench Poems chronicles the tragic saga of World War I, through original poems written by soldiers who fought and died in the trenches of France and Belgium.

It features the cinematic instrumental single, “Moog For a Day.”
