On his sophomore solo album, 'Gamle Mester' (Old Master), Lars Fredrik Frøislie pays tribute to the legends of the past. Drawing inspiration from progressive rock pioneers, as well as art, literature, and mythology, this album delves into timeless creative feats that still echo today. The album's title comes from the ancient oak tree 'Den Gamle Mester' at Krødsherad Prestegård, which also inspired a poem by Jørgen Moe. This symbolic tree runs through the album as a unifying theme, standing for wisdom, endurance, and the passage of time. From the opening track 'Demring' (Dawn) to the closing 'Skumring' (Dusk), the album takes listeners on a thrilling journey with masterful instrumentals and some of Frøislie's most captivating songwriting yet. The album reaches its peak with 'De tre gratier' (The Three Graces), named after Zeus's daughters. Spanning 12 minutes, this epic piece encapsulates what makes 'Gamle Mester' a masterpiece. Shifting between light and dark, it's a goldmine of rich keyboard sounds, soaring flute melodies, dynamic percussion, and Nikolai Hængsle's virtuosic bass work. With 'Gamle Mester', Lars Fredrik Frøislie presents an album full of history, mythology, and musical brilliance. A must - have for both progressive rock fans and collectors.
