The debut album from this band from Norway.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
I belive this band released altogether four albums before they gave up the ghost. This album was released in a handful copies before it saw a more official release on a German label in 2012. This only on LP and I will tip of the Norges Album Klassikere team for a re-release on CD as they are already crowdfunding the release of their debut album.
The band is a pretty unique band as they were mostly working with
theatres in Scandinavia and were composing music for these theatres. Those jobs were secure and well paid. Being a rock star was hardly paid at all. Hence, the main part of their career was in theatres and theatre productions.
Norsk Suite is a strange album indeed..... It starts with their version of the Beatles classic A Day In Life before the band continues with one of their own songs and then does another The Beatles cover..... Strawberry Fields Forever. They have also done a cover of John Lennon's track Isolation.
Strange...
The music on this album is psych rock. There are some avant-garde stuff here too. Lots of it, to be precise.
The music is very diverse and at times; unhinged.
This is not an easy listening album, this fifty minutes long album. The music is decent enough and should satisfy those into quirky, eclectic psych rock.
