The debut album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, woodwinds and vocals.
This band has so far released seven albums and all of them are up for review this autumn on this blog.
The band is a splinter band from the likes of Motorpsycho. Hence, I have heard a lot about them but never heard a single tone from them.... until I put this album through my speakers.
There are some evident Motorpsycho references here. But most of all, the music is very hard and the Led Zeppelin and The Cult influences is also evident. Add some soul and a lot of psych rock and the picture is more or less complete.
So to put it simple: Their music is a mix of hard rock and psych rock.
It is also evident that both their sound and music is rooted in the 1970s. Ditto for their whole ethos.
The music is a bit retro but it still sounds fresh.
The music on this forty-three minutes long album is decent to good too. There is just a handful good pieces of music here and the rest is decent enough.
This is an acceptable debut album and well worth checking out.
