The seventh album from this band from Norway.
The band is now a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, banjo, keyboards, flute and vocals.
Two guests, including Tim Bowness, added vocals and trumpet.
The band started out as a symphonic and eclectic prog band back in 2018. Their first albums was really good and established the band in the elite division of Norwegian progressive rock bands.
Their last album saw the band move to the art-rock genre. It was very Marillion inspired and had some post-rock influences.
The fifty minutes long Shelter album sees the band also branch out to the English alternative pop/rock scene. The Marillion influences is still here. You can also add XTC to list of influences.... and indeed Tim Bowness and the No-Man band.
This album will probably appeal more to those scenes than the progressive rock scene. A genre this band has left behind with their two latest albums.
The quality of this album is still pretty good and this album is indeed an improvement on last year's album. If melodic alternative rock/pop is your thing, you will really enjoy this good album.
