The sixth album from this band from Norway.
The band is a quartet with a lineup of glockenspiel, drums, percussion, congas, bass, fiddle, hurdy-gurdy, guitars, clavinet, organ, piano, moog, keyboards, synths, flute and vocals.
Three guests added clarinet and vocals.
This band has got a very good reputation as the leading Canterbury scene band from Norway.
Their first albums was indeed very influenced by the likes of Caravan etc etc.
The band has been more on a journey on the last two albums.
There is still a lot of Caravan in their music. There is also some Egg and The Tangent (first albums) in their music. Nevertheless, there is also some more indie-rock and indie-pop here.
The music is still quirky and has got a lot of jazz influences. The music is also pretty naive in it's form and in the vocals.
The vocals is very good and the band does a good job on some not so complicated pieces of music.
The quality of the music is also good throughout these forty minute and the band has therefore lived up to the expectations from me and other admirers.
This is an album and a band well worth checking out.
