Elephant9 - Atlantis (2 LP)

Elephant9, the Norwegian progressive rock and jazz fusion collective, invites you to dive into the depths of their 2012 album "Atlantis." Released on Rune Grammofon, this nu jazz-infused journey spans a full hour and is composed of seven immersive tracks, including the enigmatic "The Riddler" and the expansive "Atlantis."

The band's unique blend of genres creates a sound that is both intricate and accessible, with complex compositions that reward repeated listens. "Black Hole" and "Psychedelic Backfire" showcase the band's prowess in crafting dynamic, genre-defying pieces, while "A Foot in Both" and "A Place in Neither" offer moments of introspection and subtle beauty.

"Freedom's Children," the album's closer, is a testament to Elephant9's ability to seamlessly blend progressive rock and jazz fusion, leaving you with a sense of satisfaction and anticipation for what the band will create next. Whether you're a longtime fan of progressive rock or a newcomer to the genre, "Atlantis" is an album that promises to captivate and inspire.

This 2LP set is pressed on White vinyl.
