A fine debut effort from this Norwegian band, who are clearly and proudly looking back in time for inspiration.

Organs and vintage strings rules the proceedings for much of this production, with the flute adding in some Tull-inspired textures amongst the Uriah Heep and Deep Purple inspired motifs provided by the keys. And while the band do search out the harder hitting parts of the 70's hard rock and art rock universe often, they are at the top of their game in the gentler laidback themes. Mellow organ or guitars as the foundation for the melodic pipes Daniel M�ge are among the highlights here, as are the dreamier instrumental passages featuring the solo guitar backed by either organ, piano or strings.

Compositionally these songs does fill slightly underdeveloped, but in terms of crafting distinct yet undefinable 70's inspired arrangements this band is superb. If you love tangents driven 70's art rock with hard rock overlaps chances are good that you'll find this excursion to be both charming and enticing.
