4 stars Formed by multi-instrumentalist Håkon Oftuns, who is also a member of the punk rock band Norske Rakk and the folk rock duo Elds Mark, and drummer/percussionist Kristian Frøland (dr/per), this Norwegian duo project plays symphonic rock with a mysterious, vintage feel, making full use of instruments such as the Hammond organ, mellotron, and flute, while incorporating Krautrock-influenced electronics and Nordic traditional/folk elements.

Following their previous albums "Pastoralia" and "Nattfiolen", the band once again presents a vintage symphonic sound that is a unique blend of influences from 60s and 70s British progressive/art rock, Nordic jazz/folklore and classical music from the 1900s. While incorporating highly experimental and avant-garde elements, the melody and arrangements are stronger and more refined than the previous album, making it a very interesting work for fans of Nordic symphonic rock.
