Actionfredag - Turist i Eget Liv (2023)

The debut album from this band from Norway.

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

Some guests added glockenspiel, harp, violin, melodica, flute, woodwinds and vocals.

This is another new band to me and a very pleasant surprise. And I am not alone here as the album now seems to have been pulled from Bandcamp and will get a record label release later this year on CD, LP and digital download. This with 1-2 more songs but otherwise unchanged. 

The music here is playful Canterbury prog and jazz. Both prog and jazz is well represented here.

There are some playful good vocals in addition the mostly instrumental music here. The vocals are in Norwegian and pretty witty.

The music is very lively, jazzy and playful. The use of glockenspiel and the many other instruments here is very clever.

The music on this forty minutes long album is indeed very good and this band can, on the basis of this album, be added to the long list of talented Norwegian bands.
