You can trust Louder
Cheery stuff from Norwegian folkers as they celebrate “death in one form or another” in a bizarre five-tracker. From the jerky musical saw’n’flute groove of Hjemsokte Hjem (Haunted Home) to the gentle crumhorn of Lyssky Drøm (Shady Dream), it’s almost a lost Vertigo ’70 work, completed by Sankt Sebastian’s Alter, a medieval 24-minute psych-rock toast to the Black Death’s 666th anniversary.
Jo is a journalist, podcaster, event host and music industry lecturer who joined Kerrang! in 1999 and then the dark side – Prog – a decade later as Deputy Editor. Jo's had tea with Robert Fripp, touched Ian Anderson's favourite flute (!) and asked Suzi Quatro what one wears under a leather catsuit. Jo is now Associate Editor of Prog, and a regular contributor to Classic Rock. She continues to spread the experimental and psychedelic music-based word amid unsuspecting students at BIMM Institute London and can be occasionally heard polluting the BBC Radio airwaves as a pop and rock pundit. Steven Wilson still owes her £3, which he borrowed to pay for parking before a King Crimson show in Aylesbury.
