Pluto And The Planets - 360 Degrees of Wonder (2011)

The one and only album from this band from Norway.

The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This band was started by Petter Espen Guthe who ran and recorded two albums under the name Pluto. Both of them really good and both of them has been reviewed in this blog.

The band recorded this album who was then released through Musea Records twenty-five years later... 2011. The band is still gigging around Norway, mostly in the Oslo area. 

The music is very different from what Petter Espen did under the Pluto name. It is still some sort of progressive rock. It is though much more commercial and it is a mix of folk rock, psych rock (Pink Floyd) and art-rock. Add some pop and rock too.

The music is mostly dominated by Sandra Josefine's vocals. Female vocals and they are very much in the celtic/Irish folk rock tradition.

There are also some instrumental pieces on this one hour long album. Pieces where you hear some Pluto influences.

The result is a decent album. It has no good pieces of music though and that is my main gripe with this album. Hence.....

2 points
