For those still wondering, Arcana, the sophomore prog odyssey from LA’s Circe Link and Christian Nesmith, deals a tarot-fueled sonic spell.

Five epic tracks—tied to Major Arcana cards — unfold like Yes with an even more mighty mystical edge: The Tower topples in an 11-minute blaze, The Chariot races through a 16-minute cosmos.

Link’s ethereal voice soars like a celestial guide, Nesmith’s wizardry bends sound into prog nirvana, with Christopher Allis’ tight drums and Matt Brown’s wild keys (on Chariot) sealing the deal.

This isn’t just music — it’s a third-eye-opening trip through the duo’s 16th collab. Shuffle up and listen.

1. The Tower [11:37]
2. The Magician [11:16]
3. The Fool [8:29]
4. The Hanged Man [9:58]
5. The Chariot [15:41]

Housed in a mystical 6-panel digifile, and with artwork that doubles as a crash course in prog rock astrology, this perfect physical vessel for your journey through the musical arcana opens on the simply magical prog-pop-rock of the ten minute The Tower and the more stridently harmonious, eleven minute The Magician, and are backed by the veritably shimmering work of musical art The Fool, rounding out on the atmospherically-charged storytelling that drives the ten minute The Hanged Man, closing on the melodiously flared and joyously vibrant free for all fifteen minute opus The Chariot.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a cosmic radio station collides with studio wizardry, look no further than Circe Link and Christian Nesmith. She’s the self-taught artist who woke up one morning with melodies beaming straight from the universe, crafting nine albums of genre-defying magic that make record store clerks invent new filing systems. He’s the production powerhouse who makes Madison Avenue sound hip while musical directing everything from Hair in Moscow to Hedwig in LA.

Together, they’re a musical force that’s caught the attention of everyone from The Monkees to Japanese jazz heads. Their sixteenth release Arcana, coming in 2025 on Think Like A Key Music (and already dubbed the best Yes album never made), proves that sometimes the most progressive sounds come from the most unexpected places. Just don’t try to pin down what you’re hearing – Circe and Christian are too busy breaking musical rules to follow them.
