The 23rd album from this band from Norway.
The band was a trio with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, guitars, mandolin, violin, keyboards and vocals.
Three guests added guitar, violin, saxophone and clarinet.
This is the third and final album in the Gullvåg trio of albums.... That is with the art-work done by the Norwegian painter Håkon Gullvåg. The first two albums is the The Tower (2017) and The Crucible (2019). The music on these three albums is pretty different although there is a lot of similariites between the two above mentioned albums.
The All Is One is a different kettle of fish again. And just when I thought I had this band figured out, this eighty-five minutes long album throws me a curveball. At least during the first listening sessions.
All the Motorpsycho hallmarks is still here. Their take on psych rock and eclectic prog. Their sound.... all is here.
The curveball is the forty minutes take on Pink Floyd'ish psych rock we get during the middle of this album. Both the old Pink Floyd and the new Pink Floyd is well represented here. That is the thing I did not expect from Motorpsycho. Then again.... I should have known better as I should always expect the unexpected from this band. And that is why this band is so fascinating.
There is a lot of good melodies on this album too. The vocals too is good.
The result is a different album but still a good album. Another album confirming their status as one of the most interesting bands in Norway.
