The seventh album from this band from Norway.
The band is a duo with a lineup of drums, percussion, guitars, keyboards, flute and vocals.
This band is one of the leading lights in the new progressive rock scene in Norway.
Salighet gives us forty minutes with a blend of folk rock and symphonic prog.
Most of the music is half-acoustic and it also has some jazzy influences. The music also comes across as pretty much a mix of Jethro Tull and Wobbler.
The sound on this album and the sound of Jordsjø is very much the Norwegian sound. Some will say this sound was laid down on the first Folque albums in the 1970s and then adopted by the new wave of Norwegian prog rock bands some decades later.
The music is melodic and has a lot of melancholy.
The music is also very good and this album confirms why this band is regarded as one of the best bands in Norway right now.
3.5 points
