I definitely hear more Folk and Psych elements than heavy prog. They certainly had a political edge; the cultural, spiritual and historical importance of the Innuit, the Danish rule over Greenland etc. These are the 'heavier' elements but with the predominance of 12 string guitar, organ, some electric guitar but often treated.. definitely more in the folk-Psych 'court' stylistically in my view (for what its worth)

The band is on Proggnosis, with the style stated simply as 'Early Progressive', though only the second album from 1974 has been added to that database.
We therefore need to evaluate them, since we intend to be "the most complete and powerful progressive rock resource".  I've added the band to Awesome Prog, but there are no supported streaming links available. The albums are on Dailymotion though: Sumut (1973), Inuit Nunaat (1974) and Sume (1976 or 1977, there appears to be some confusion regarding when the album was actually released). I don't personally hear any of this as Heavy Prog, so I guess we need to start the evaluation off in Psych/Space, and I've dropped a note in their team thread.

Got 3 of their lps on vinyl and absolutely love them; always felt their mix of folk, rock and psych with a political/historical bent should put them in some category here... I can't really categorize them so wherever the powers that be think the best fit!?

Their final album (Sumé from 1977) is the one that resembles "progressive rock" the most.

Found a vinyl rip of their second album "Inuit Nunaat" from 1974 on Youtube: I really like it so far, not much prog going on until the fourth track, but it is a pleasant album  Edited by Bj-1 - October 26 2024 at 10:01 |

BTW, here's something prog rock fans might find interesting. The song Sikorngaa, in addition to the rock'n Hammond organ, features some tasty cleverly hidden background Mellotron strings near the end.
Also, that album was co-produced by Stig Kreutzfeldt of Ache. That's another "prog connection".  Edited by Hrychu - October 26 2024 at 09:44 |

Bumping this thread because I'm listening to Sumé's 1977 self titled album right now and I think it would be cool to have a progarchives entry from Greenland. At last.

For those of you who rember, I use to laugh out loud about "eskimo prog", as I thought it didn't exist Well, actually it does: Sume did three albums in the 70's https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/sume Malik Hřegh (12-string acoustic guitar, electric guitar, vocals), Per
Berthelsen (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, vocals), Hans Fleischer
(drums, 1972-77), Erik Hammeken (guitar, bass, 1972-77), Emil Larsen
(bass, vocals), Sakio Nielsen (organ), Karl Sivertsen (acoustic guitar,
electric guitar, vocals), Nikolaj Steenstrup (Mellotron, percussion) the albums: Edited by Sean Trane - November 12 2024 at 04:05 |

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
