The debut album from this band from Norway.
The band was a seven piece big band with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, synths, violin and vocals.
This band has flown well under my radar and I only became aware of them by sheer coincidence. And that only through their second and final album, their 2004 album. A review of that album will follow in the coming days.
The music is a mix of art-rock, a bit neo-prog and some Canterbury scene prog.
The vocals is really good and the band knows what they are doing.
The music is both melancholic and slightly gloomy. The half-acoustic guitars is underlining the mood and the sound here. They are also giving this album a slightly jazzy edge.
Most of the music is therefore pretty pastoral.
The quality is somewhere between decent and good. I am not won over by this album. Then again, this is an acceptable debut album.
2.5 points
