A Bergen, Norway outfit who play the sort of indie-rock that flirts with the ‘90s in all the best ways, the 10 songs here from Green Sky Accident are quite animated, riff focused and melodic in both rugged and pretty ways.
“Faded Memories” starts the listen with a haze of warm prog sounds that flows with dreamy and thicker moments, and “In Vain” follows with a dynamic alt-rock spirit that’s both firm and melodic.
“Screams At Night” occupies the middle spot and thumps with a rich and precisely textured climate that’s quite dense, while “Finding Failure” jangles a bit with a glowing indie-rock appeal that’s got an infectious energy.
Deeper still, “Lid” is a more bare display of atmospheric keys in its brief, instrumental prowess, and “While it Lasted” exits the listen with a thick glaze of angular post-rock nods amid the lush and, later on, booming finish.
A band that truly offers something for everyone, fans of punk, metal, power-pop and prog-rock are going to adore every minute of this amazing, multi-faceted rock masterpiece.
