The second album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, piano, organ, oscillator, synths, samples, electronics and voices.
Some guests added percussion, bass, viola, violin, synths, saxophones and clarinet.
I was not too impressed by their debut album and the instrumental math rock they brought to the market on that album. That album was a bit short on quality but still a decent album.
The band continues with their brand of instrumental math rock on their new album.
This album also sees the band expanding their horizons. That means this fifty minutes long album has some pretty good influences from cinematic rock, RIO and post-rock.
The post-rock influences here are good. Ditto for some of the melodies.
This album sounds like a crossroad between cinematic rock, post rock and math rock. Some better melodies and this album would have been a good album. It is not a bad album at all and an improvement on their debut album.
Check out this band and album if instrumental prog and math rock is your thing.
