Onségen Ensemble - Fear (2020)

The third album from this band from Finland.

The band was a collective of ten musicians with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, flutes, keyboards, synths, woodwinds and vocals.

This collective of musicians comes from the far north of Finland, from behind the Arctic Circle. They released a new album earlier this year too.

I very much liked their second album, reviewed last week, and was looking forward to reviewing this album.

The music here is space rock with a lot of psych rock and brass rock influences.

The band sounds like a brass band from Mexico at times. Too many times, and that is not to my liking. The space rock is always present and the music is pretty twisted. 

There is also a high degree of post rock structures on this album.

The music on this album is mostly instrumental. The sporadic vocals is good. Both the male and the female vocals.

The result is a decent to good fifty minutes long album. It is a weird album though.
