Details
Jordsjø, a dynamic duo hailing from Oslo, Norway, takes musical inspiration from Olivier Messiaen, (German) Popol Vuh, and Anthony Braxton. Their sound is a beautiful blend influenced by Scandinavian folklore, jazz, and early British prog, carrying on the tradition of last - century's top Nordic rock. 'Salighet' is the band's fourth full - fledged studio album, featuring seven brand - new tracks that are set to be one of the greatest progressive rock albums of 2023. On this album, Jordsjø delves deeper into their musical odyssey, exploring various forms of ecstasy through both compositions and lyrics. Whether it's the rhythm of dance, the adventure of a mountain hike, the magic of a fairytale, the depth of religious contemplation, or other inner explorations, all are expressed in a vibrant symphonic folk - rock sound. The music offers a stark contrast to ordinary daily life, yearning for mystery and alternate realities. With powerful dynamics and drama, it always chases after a great melody. Drawing on Nordic jazz, folk music, early 1900s classical music, and the mind - expanding rock of the 60s and 70s, 'Salighet' creates its own unique and unrefined musical blend. The band is composed of multi - instrumentalist Håkon Oftung (known from Tusmørke, Black Magic, The Chronicles of Father Robin) and drummer Kristian Frøland.
