Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion is a band formed by its namesake, Hasse Fröberg. Hasse is most famous for his work as a vocalist and occasional guitarist of symph-prog titans The Flower Kings. After TFK went on hiatus around 2008, Hasse decided to form a new band in order to present 'songs that [he has] written through the years that don't fit the T.F.K formula.' "Powerplay" (2012) is their second studio album. What we have here is pretty solid music, sometimes very close to what The Flower Kings done in past years but this time this style is melted with hard rock elements, giving in the end a heavy prog album quite spectacular in places. There are lots of melodic hooks, nice instrumental passages, and keyboard driven arrangements. Also the voice of Hasse is very strong, he has a warm vocal tone who is fiting perfectly into this type of music. The musicianship and songwritting is top toch, every musician involved here truly shining.
