4 stars Knekklectric is a band born musically in 2012, releasing its 3rd album, 4 years after the avant-garde 'For Mange Melodia'. This new album offers 7 tracks from our current era, in the singular 'lesund dialect, signing colorful, fruity, bucolic compositions from which each note and air seems to squirt here and there like a new chance for the world going worse and worse!

'Angra Paa' starts with a fruity fusion pop rock with the vocal particularity of 'lesund to which it will be necessary to acclimatize, like the Nena of the 80's in Teutonic; you have to wait for the drum roll to have the sumptuous progressive variation. 'Alt Blir Verre': softer, jazzy fusion with the keyboard forward; by far or near an air of course from last year's Meer which I had made the top of the year; a calmer digression, then shouted, progressive, eclectic and airy, unclassifiable. '1992' follows on the same tonic framework and it is only in the break that the new prog of the decade has an effect, fresh, strange, appetizing. 'Muknado': on a thundering jazzy-rock tune, a little on the intimate Joe Jackson, a playful South American tune, disturbing because far from prog and also filled with progressive sap, musical paradigm at its height. 'Roed Bil': with the priority given to the voices on this convoluted and precise title before a final pleasurable vocal climb. "Beksvart Gull" is hard to decipher, jazzy Alan Parsons, Frank Zappa modern jazz, progression of crystalline, aerial instruments. 'Se Paa Me': melancholy and/or explosive ballad, song-hymn of a new musical order of the decade of 2020, the vintage keyboard amplifying nostalgia.

Knekklectric releases a fusion album between prog rock and jazzy pop, fresh, furious, colorful, funky and groovy at the same time. An album full of meticulous arrangements, seeming to come out of nowhere, a discovery album where classical instruments make fun of the guitar; album with a dark, sly language to shock even more.
