Airbag - The Century of the Self (2024)

The sixth album from this band from Norway.

The band is a trio with a lineup of drums, guitars and vocals.

Three guests added bass, guitars and keyboards.

This band album debuted fifteen years ago and has become one of Norway's better art-rock bands. It's guitarist Bjorn Riis is also a prolific solo artist. 

Forty-seven minutes, five songs. That is what we get here. 

The music is melancholic art-rock. I have always compared this band to Gazpacho and that is still a relevant comparison on this album too. Airbag's music is more songs based, though. 

The five songs here are both clever and full of interesting details. There is no killer tracks here, though. The standard is still good and this makes it a good album.
