35 Tapes - Fabric of Time (2023)

The third album from this band from Norway.

The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, piano, organ, keyboards, synths, minimoog, mellotron and vocals.

This band's first two albums was very good and I was hoping that their 2021 album Home would see a follow up album. It has and this is the album.

Symphonic prog is the genre here. There is some psych rock and neo-prog influences too but most of the music is symphonic prog.

The music is mid-tempo, melodic and mellow. 

All the instruments is involved throughout and the production is superb. The vocals is very good.

This album is still an album that never really fully blossom and opens up like a fully grown rose. The songs are good, but never great or even very good.

This album is not as good as their first two albums. It is still an album everyone into Norwegian symphonic prog and symphonic prog in general need to check out.
