THE DIARY OF ROBERT REVERIE

The best album to come out of Norway in 2018 in my opinion. Also my favorite "prog" album from that year. Amazing musicianship, catchy tunes, warm analog sounds, a down-to-earth vibe that I really dig. Bj'rn Klakegg is leading the project, he's a well-known and experienced jazz guitarist and I love his singing too. The rest of the band is superb as well. Nikolai H'ngsle on bass guitar plays on almost every cool band in Norway these days, for example Elephant9 which some of you progheads may have listened to. David Wallumr'd on keys is also a well-known jazz musician who delivers some amazing sounds from his Hammond C3, Clavinet and Arp Pro Soloist, just to mention some of the keyboards in use. Olaf Olssen on drums delivers a loose grooviness that really fits the music. This band deserves to be listened to!
