NATTFIOLEN

. From the start album delivers an exciting, refreshing, and wonderful sound. There are many similarities with their previous effort but this one has better and more mature songwriting. The band is also more focused on the emotional part of their sound and this is very obvious in each track, while the strong vintage influences are still very evident. The songs are flowing naturally, not jumping from break to break, indicating great musicianship. There is always a nice combination of keys, flute, and melancholic electric guitars. You can hear lots of great riffs, twists, and turns. The lyrics are in Norwegian and I think it's a good thing because it gives a sense of mystery to the overall sound of the band. Stifinner and Til V'ren are the jewels of this album that will satisfy any prog-rock fan at some point.
