Gazpacho - Molok CD (Mega Blowout Sale)
SKU
23-KSCOPE769
“Following 2014's lauded album Demon, Gazpacho released their ninth studio album Molok. This was the sixth album in a series of concept records that started with the critically acclaimed Night in 2007. Recorded at Krypton Sound Planet studios in Oslo, the self-produced album was mixed by Daniel Bergstrand (In Flames, Meshuggah, Soilwork, Dimmu Borgir).
Molok features guest musicians Stian Carstensen from the eclectic group Farmers Market on accordion and ethnic instruments, and music archaeologist Gjermund Kollveit playing the aga stone (the oldest known instrument ever to be featured on a CD).”
“There is a bit of a paradox in any Gazpacho album. The Norwegian band is evolving at the edge of Progressive Rock but if often closer to old school Art Rock to the point that there are passages of Molok, their new opus, that evoke german proto-art-rockers Amon Duul II. Singer Jan-Henrik Ohme and his friends are rarely interested in spectacular time signatures, bravoura solos or complex chord progressions. Even at their most fiery, they seem to stroll through a eery soundscape, drawing us in ever so gently, following Ohme as a languid pied piper. And yet, in their minimalist lyricism, Gazpacho are more adventurous, and therefore more progressive, than most Prog acts.” - Philippe Deroin
