MesaVerde - KY (2022)

 

The debut album from this band from Norway.

The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

Another addition to the vast ocean of Norwegian bands. 

The band has described themeselves as a mix of Led Zeppelin and Tama Impala. Which is not too bad of a label. It also puts a lot of pressure on the band and this album.

Lots of pressure, indeed. 

I am not so convinced about this Led Zeppelin label. I think that is meant to draw in the likes of myself. The progressive rock label is also not quite correct.

I would label this album as somewhere between art rock and indie rock. Progressive rock ? Nope. Led Zeppelin ? Nope. Tama Impala ? Yes.

The music is very clever though and hence the art rock label. There is lots of indie rock here too but some really smart ones too.

The music is melodic and dynamic. The music is at times a bit quirky too.

This is indeed a good album and one that would make the art rock world happy. Not so the Led Zeppelin and prog rock fans....
