Details
Jordsjø, a dynamic duo hailing from Oslo, Norway, takes musical inspiration from Olivier Messiaen, German Popol Vuh, and Anthony Braxton. Their musical path is also influenced by Scandinavian folklore, jazz, and early British prog, following in the footsteps of last century's top Nordic rock. 'Salighet' is their fourth well - crafted studio album, featuring seven brand - new tracks that are set to be one of the greatest prog albums of 2023. In 'Salighet', Jordsjø embarks on a musical odyssey through the highs and lows. They explore various forms of ecstasy via their compositions and lyrics, whether it's through the rhythm of dance, the adventure of a mountain hike, the charm of a fairytale, the depth of religious contemplation, or other inner explorations. The album offers a vibrant symphonic folk - rock sound, a perfect counterpoint to ordinary daily life. It yearns for mystery and alternate realities, with powerful dynamics and drama, all while constantly seeking out beautiful melodies. 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 unpretentious musical blend. The band is made up of multi - instrumentalist Håkon Oftung (from Tusmørke, Black Magic, The Chronicles of Father Robin) and drummer Kristian Frøland.
