The debut album from this one-man-band from Norway.
Ozul is Paulo Chavarria on guitars, electronics and vocals.
Paulo is originally from Costa Rica, Latin-America but he has settled in Bergen, Norway. Two albums has so far been released and I will review the new album sometimes later this week.
The music is a modern mix of art-rock, psych rock and heavy prog. Porcupine Tree and Marillion is two very good references here. Pink Floyd is a minor influence.
The music is more melancholic than hard. It still has an edge but the edge is not that sharp. There is a lot of pop sensibilities here too.
The vocals is very good. There is some multi-layered vocals on this album too and they are very good. The music is not complicated but it still has some good details.
The music is still pretty muscular and is heavy at times. This is adding variations and gravitas to the songs.
The album is clocking in at three quarters of an hour and the music is good throughout.
This is an album well worth checking out and a good edition to the impressive Norwegian prog and art-rock scene.
