TEXEL are an unsigned Anglo / Danish band that play nearly all-instrumental melodic music based on the Dutch band FOCUS!
Composer and keyboardist Steffen Staugaard quite authentically captures the idiosyncratic way Thijs van Leer was writing his classically inspired tracks of the time, pleasantly emulating his typical melodic twists and Hammond organ chord progressions. Guitarist Neil Gowland perfectly recreates the exciting weeping guitar sound of Jan Akkerman – a sound that became formative for Dutch symphonic rock since the 70's until today.
Phil Wood (bass), Max Saidi (drums) and Thorstein Quebec Hemmet (flute) complete the core line-up of TEXEL.

Originally released 14th October 2018, ‘Zooming Into Focus’ is the album that first realized the band-leader’s dream of composing and performing music similar to the group he was most fascinated by in his formative years - the Dutch group FOCUS. On this, their first step into the world of recorded Progressive Rock instrumentals, TEXEL produced seven original tracks of new music that stylishly and perfectly reflected that superb melodic sound of the seventies that was FOCUS!
