The second album from this band from Norway.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, sitar, violin, mandolin, synths, organ, piano, samples and vocals.
Some guests added bass, sitar, mellotron, piano, organ, vocals and narration.
This album was a big album and big news when I lived in a student dormitory back in Oslo, Norway. Very popular, but I had my head fully buried in the death/doom metal scene and totally ignored this album.
My first ever listen to this album was therefore last weekend.
This seventy minutes long album is a box with lots of various demons.
I mean.... various musical expressions. From outlaw country to thrash metal. The opening minutes, weird minutes, makes the listener wonder if the wrong album has been purchased. Weird folky outlaw country. The music then moves to psych and space rock.
The common thread for the music here is garage psych rock. That means wild psych rock with some post-punk influences and metal influences. That in addition to some folk and retro-pop influences.
The music is good throughout the album. It is a strange record but the quality shines through. It is an album I have come to really like and enjoy.
