The fourth album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of glockenspiel, drums, percussion, organ, grand piano, mellotron, keyboards, synths, electronics, flute and vocals.
Three guests added congas, hurdy gurdy, flute, crumhorn, narration and vocals.
I reviewed their first three albums years ago for # 1 and # 2 of this blog many years ago. I will now review the remaining albums this autumn and winter for this blog.
Tusmørke is a strange band and a pretty important band in the Norwegian prog rock scene.
Their music is not traditional progressive rock. It is more on the fringes of progressive rock.
Take a bit of both Daevid Allen and Frank Zappa's weirdness and add a lot of psych rock and folk rock. This where you find this album. There are also some Canterbury prog on this album, as in Gong.
The music is weird and so is the Norwegian lyrics. Lyrics not many will understand as Norwegian is only understood by five million lost souls.... myself included. The vocals is good, though.
The quality of the music is somewhere between decent and good. I hope their other albums is better than this one, let me put it like that.
2.5 points
