The debut album from this band from Norway.
The band is a one man band with Helge Nyheim doing the drums and vocals. Daniel Hauge is listed as a member of the band too but he does not play any instrument or contribute on vocals.
Helge and Daniel has got help from some guests who has provided bass, guitars, synths, saxophones and backing vocals.
The band comes from Bergen on the west coast and the members are involved in Apollon Records, the label who has released this album. Both Helge and Daniel has been involved in the scene for decades.
The music on this forty minutes long digital album, LP and CD is a blend of art-rock and neo-prog.
Take Pink Floyd and blend them with Airbag and Porcupine Tree.
The music is mid-tempo with some melancholy and soul. The sound is muscular. There are some Gilmour'ish guitar solos scattered around this album. Ditto for saxophones which adds a dystopian feel and sound to the album. The vocals is pretty good.
My only gripe with this album is the song writing who could have been a lot better. Nevertheless, this is a good album indeed. Let's hope we will hear a lot more from this band in the future.
