The 11th album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, keyboards, flute and vocals.
You never know what you get from this band.... Children ditties or proper music. Thankfully, the last, their tenth album Hestehoven from last year, was a proper music album. An album with some flaws but still a proper music album.
Dawn Of Oberon is a good followup to the music on Hestehoven.
Take some Gong like Canterbury scene prog, add some acid-folk, Scandinavian folk rock and a lot of psych rock. The result is this three quarters of an hour long album.
There is even some good, solid Kaipa references in their music.
The lyrics is both in English and Norwegian. The vocals are good.
The flutes is the main instrument here in addition to some tasty keyboards.
The music is pretty quirky and whimsical. The music is still pretty solid mid-tempo and the band knows what they are doing.
The band is still a bit lacking in songs writing department. Nevertheless, this is their best album so far and one to check out.
