MesaVerde - All is Well (2024)

The second album from this band from Norway.

The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

 This band was once marketed as a mix of Led Zeppelin and XTC. On the debut album, that was not far from the truth.

All Is Well sees the band ditching everything Led Zeppelin. There is a lot of XTC left in their music. Some Marillion has been added but not much. Gazpacho is a more relevant comparison.

The music is a mix of 1980s indie and these days art-rock.

Lots of harmonies of all sorts here and the music is mid-tempo.

The music is pleasant and pretty good. It is still a bit of a let down compared with their debut album. I am not impressed.
