A Kind of Alchemy is the second studio album from the alternative/progressive rock band byron. Released on 23 October 2009 at The Silver Church Club in Bucharest.[1] It contains two singles, "Diggin' a Hole" and "King Of Clowns".[2]
A Kind Of Alchemy contains blues, progressive and funk influences. Dan Byron said that "the mood is nocturnal, rather intimate, sometimes playful or even exuberant", and the album as a whole deals with the "process of creation, ranging from madness to zen".[3] One part of the album has an extra sensitivity, another part is more aggressive, with a clear rhythm section.[4]
