The fourth album from this band from Norway.
The band is a trio with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, guitars, sitar, guembri, kalimba, synths, electronics and vocals.
A guest added trumpet and synths on one track.
This is another band who are on the fringes of the Norwegian progressive rock scene. I would still very much include this band in this scene, though.
I reviewed their previous album, the 2023 album Kapitalypse Na back in July 2023 in this blog and liked it a lot. That album gave us a mix of Frank Zappa, King Crimson, Amon Duul II and Popol Vuh.
We get a lot more of the same here. The King Crimson influences has been replaced with some Miles Davis like jazz though. This album is indeed leaning a lot more towards jazz than progressive rock.
We still get krautrock and a lot of Frank Zappa here. The Norwegian language lyrics, which I as a Norwegian understand, but will get lost for those whos does not, is important here. They are hippie and peace on earth orientated. They are also good. They are also delivered as scatches and raps like mix of singing and talking.
There is a lot of rhythms here and the music is mainly funky jazz.
The band does a good job and the vocals is good. The songs too is good. I am afraid this album may be lost in translation outside Norway and that is a shame. Nevertheless......
