^ Only listened to the track Ashes and enjoyed this Thumbs Up

but I'm a tad sceptical about their label's claim of 'one foot in jazz' as the upright acoustic bass and vintage 'traps' kit sound are merely textural. (jazz by association)This is rawk.

Ok, listened to the 2nd track Gun and the E Kid which has a stronger Proggy flavour and Hendrix vibe to it and liked this too (but still can't hear any jazz in there - that's not necessarily a criticism just an observation)

Please get listen Sidetracked because it is jazzy, with that nice "analog" sound because the album were recorded live in studio where Trio played together. An interresting and nice stuff. IMHO.

Sounds like rock indeed, but not sure if progressive. The two samples are unfortunately not enough to give a clear image on the band's style.

Hedvig Mollested Trio - For the Air

Hedvig Mollestad Trio performing “The Dead One” from Shoot! at May 2011’s Trondheim Jazz Festival

She also plays in El Doom & The Born Electric who have recently released an album, and are currently being evaluated by Heavy Prog, I believe (see this post: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=84175" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=84175 )
