The Vegetarians are a Swedish-American duo consisting of Hans Annellsson, composer & musician from Sweden, and composer & songwriter John Tabacco from Long Island, NY. Their eagerly anticipated new album includes a 48-minute suite called \u201cAmpersand On The Beach\u201d. Stylistically, the music is a mix of Prog Rock & Classic Rock. \u201cAmpersand On The Beach\u201d released on Spotify April 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Says Hans, \u201cFor the past year and a half we have released one single per month, often including two songs mimicking an A-side and a B-side (like in the good old vinyl days).When the time came to do the new album we picked the ten best songs, which form the first part of the album, and then took the remaining songs and put them together as a suite, adding interludes, transitions and themes for the continuity of the piece. Anybody familiar with Genesis \u201cSuppers Ready\u201d will get the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
