Without Intervention by Head with Wings

"More ornate and expressive gems from the accomplished art rockers...'Without Intervention' deserves to catapult them into the limelight. Don't pass it by."
PROG Magazine

"Head with Wings never really put a foot wrong, leaving Without Intervention as something that followers of the current new progressive scene should be checking out, but be sure to allow it time to show its true colors."
Sea of Tranquility 4/5

"Mixed by my buddy Vikram Shankar, it's (Without Intervention) out today and I recommend you check it out."
Ross Jennings (Haken)

"Thank you for sending a copy of the album 'Without Intervention' by Head with Wings. I listened to it for a while, and it's good. I'm happy."
Hideo Kojima (Death Stranding, Metal Gear Solid)

“Head with Wings keeps getting better, and I’m here for it. 'Without Intervention' is a smartly organized, rhythmically-gifted record that sounds wonderful and sports layers of beauty. Give it a try!”
The Prog Mind 8.75/10

“‘Without Intervention’ is the highlight of the Connecticut band’s work to date. With Vikram Shankar, the trio has managed a balancing act, because the album catches fire not only the first time you hear it, thanks to its grip and catchiness. It is also an album with a long half-life. Behind the emotional vocal lines with narrative depth are small works of art with which Head with Wings explores the boundaries between classic prog and alternative rock.”
Betreutes Proggen 14/15

“Intelligent songwriting and refined, polished musicianship are rapidly becoming hallmarks of the band’s releases and, with this latest album, the band are cementing their position at the forefront of the modern rock landscape.”
Progradar

“‘Without Intervention’ is a sophisticatedly staged and equally intelligently performed album of cerebral rock music…the music is first class in terms of craftsmanship, even if it doesn't challenge the listener enough.”

"The music was masterfully produced, mixed and mastered by Vikram Shankar (who also provided the keyboard parts), with Joshua’s expressive vocal performance recorded and produced by Earthside’s Frank Sacramone, Head with Wings are poised to be the next big thing in Alternative Prog Land. Period."
The Prog Space

"It is modern, it is fresh, never looking back into the Seventies but instead moving forward in a way which borders on the commercial (listen to “Comfort In Illusion” to see what I mean), but always maintains its integrity and depth so it is enjoyable to progheads and also those who would never admit to liking the genre (I did not inhale, honest)."
Kev Rowland (Progressor) 6/6

“The album occupies a similar space in my head as the wonderful 'Luminaria' by Aviations. Both albums fuse together alt-rock and prog into some remarkable songs. Both bands feature virtuoso performances that are tuned into the needs of the song rather than quests for personal glory.”
Sophomore Slump 4.5/5

"'Without Intervention' undoubtedly marks the high point in “Head With Wings” career to date...each song is an adventure in itself, demonstrating the band's ability as storytellers in an unmissable album."
Nación Progresiva

"Their magnum opus which, lasting less than 36 minutes, should captivate even those who are usually bored by alt. rock’s suburban ennui."
DMME 4/5

“Without Intervention is worthy of your attention. Head With Wings go about their craft earnestly and produce a sonic wall with very clear progressive sensibilities, and although my personal taste would have wished to hear a wee bit more of said sensibilities, this is a welcome return to some harder edged rock music for this website to review.”
Lazland

“With a dramatic tone, the musical aesthetic of Head with Wings is distinguished by those extensive musical foundations where emotions are torn and thoughts are lost among the instrumentation like a whisper in the wind.”
Expansión Radial

“Head with Wings always builds a rhythmic foundation for far-reaching melancholy.”
SaitenKult 8/10

“Head with Wings can pack in more fruitful ideas in four minutes than some prog formations can in 20 minutes…In its best moments, the album takes the open-minded music lover through various emotions between melancholy, thoughtfulness and aggression in a very short time…I would like to consider ‘Without Intervention’ to be an almost ideal example of successful alternative prog without a boring second.
Babyblaue Seiten 11/15

""Comfort In Illusion," could easily be the new single taken from the album. The melody is attractive and here too the progressive touch is not far away. Head with Wings manages to hold the attention with a varied offering in which all aspects of guitar, rhythm and vocals are nicely balanced."
Rockportaal NL

“On one hand, ‘Without Intervention’ is a strongly cinematic album and on the other, it develops almost like a musical, where all the songs (even the shortest ones) present successive scenic and rhythmic-melodic changes. An evolutionary work worthy of note, a fundamental element in catapulting this album to other demanding levels perfectly framed by this innovative approach to progressive sounds.”
Via Nocturna 2000 83%

"The band from New Haven with front singer Joshua Corum aboard has a collection of enchanting new melodic rock songs in supply."
Rivertree (Awesomeprog)

"Overall, this is an album that challenges modern tropes both musically and lyrically in our world today and simultaneously plays into it and turns it on its head. If you want an album that is truly progressive and not over saturated; you need Head with Wings in your life."
Heavy Debriefings

“Head with Wings is a captivating progressive rock band that has gained recognition for their emotionally charged and introspective music…they skillfully combine post-rock and alternative rock influences, crafting a distinctive and immersive musical journey that resonates with listeners on a profound level.”
The Album Review Channel 8/10

"'Without Intervention' is in line with 'From Worry To Shame,' offering us restless progressive rock but marked by luminous sequences, which follow one another pleasantly and in complete readability... it should please fans of progressive rock and invite them on a tormented internal journey."
Music Waves FR

“Driven, wide-ranging, pointed and dramatic without being pompous, the gentlemen know what they are doing. Add to that the beautiful and intelligent work of drummer Mike Short, and you have an impressive record.”
Progwereld

“It’s nerd rocky, I guess - it’s (Galaxy) a nice video, I’d like to hear their other stuff, that’s great…I enjoy a good CD, it’s nice but I’d have to open my Xbox to play it.”
Brian Redban (Kill Tony, Joe Rogan Experiment)

““Comfort in Illusion” and ​“Three Months'' deliver the kind of epic music making that Head with Wings excels at, creating an emotional stew that mixes confessional desperation with a kind of triumphant strength, suggesting that we’re listening to the voices of survivors.”
New Haven Independent

“Head with Wings have, in ‘Without Intervention,’ produced an album of fire and intensity, and continue to prove themselves one of today’s finest…the new album thrills with inventive, layered soundscapes.”
Pennyblackmusic

"The eight compositions are nothing but fantastic, they mix sophistication with memorability and will therefore immediately appeal to fans of more modern hard rock."
Powermetal . de 9/10

"Built on pillars of alternative and progressive rock, the Americans' music is emotionally powerful if not structurally complex. Raging riffs follow arpeggios to carry us away into sophisticated soundscapes, with Joshua Corum's impassioned vocals as the common thread."
KoiD9 Magazine Rock & Progressif

"Without being overwhelming, Head with Wings offers a pleasant and perfectly executed second album, and at the same time demonstrates a real ability to handle emotion through melodies that naturally impose themselves on the mind."
album rock FR 3.5/5

“Most critics classify the music as “progressive”... I really like the term “art rock” because it really is art! But it doesn't matter what you call the sound, Corum's charisma touches everyone, no matter what sounds are buzzing around!”
musik an sich 18/20

Head with Wings are storytellers of sound. Textured, ethereal, and blissfully haunting, the U.S. - based quintet creates boundary-pushing rock songs that straddle the aesthetic line between art music and narrative drama.
