The Twenty Committee are a 5-piece progressive rock band who have been writing and performing music in the greater Philadelphia area since 2012. They have independently released two studio albums, A Lifeblood Psalm (2013) and The Cycle Undone (2023), concept albums that blend captivating melodies with prog complexities. The current lineup of Geoffrey Langley (keys, lead vox), Jeff Bishop (lead guitar, vox), Joe Henderson (drums, percussion, vox), Richmond Carlton (bass, harp, vox), and Justin Carlton (guitars, keys, vox) have developed an original sound that derives from their shared influences: Rush, Steven Wilson, Gentle Giant, Steely Dan, Big Big Train, and Return to Forever.
Though presumed to be defunct after significant time spent off of the proverbial tour bus, the Committee have never left session. After years spent writing, rehearsing, and arranging in a nondescript New Jersey basement, the band emerged in May 2021 armed with enough material for another studio-length release. They convened in New York with Rave Tesar (Studio X) of Renaissance to record drum tracks for what would become their sophomore album. Over the subsequent year, the band painstakingly recorded the rest of the album around that skeleton, with Bishop at the engineering helm in his home studio. Other engineering work for “Cycle” includes Annie Haslam’s guest vocals recorded by Brett Kull of Echolyn (Catapult Sound), and Geoffrey Langley’s additional work on Moog and organ recorded by Matt Thomas of The Genesis Show (MTOverdubs). The band is extremely grateful to Larry Fast for his mastering work.
Released 12 December, 2023, The Cycle Undone represents a decade of under-the-radar work. It has been described as “rich, nuanced, and unpredictable” (albumrock), “excellently played and pleasantly sung, [with] thoughtful and cleverly crafted compositions” (Paul Rijkens, iO pages), “big and symphonic [with] impeccable and elegant playing” (Bert Saraco, The Phantom Tollbooth), and an album that "not only surpass[es] its predecessor in terms of scope, diversity, and ambition, but [also] easily measures up to virtually all of 2023’s other progressive rock releases” (Jordan Blum, SonicPerspectives). To the band, perhaps the greatest compliment yet was Greg Spawton of Big Big Train recommending the album as his favorite prog release of the year in an interview with Progradar.org.
