Actionfredag - Lys Fremtid I Mørke CD
SKU
aMarxe 1224
After the quite winning first album not so long ago by this great Norwegian band, this second release is definitely in the ‘greatly anticipated’ category!
Reminiscent to me in some ways to the ‘song’ parts on the Hatfield albums. Recommended!

Lys fremtid i mørke is a life-affirming prog salute inspired by British brick buildings, Sundborn paintings, and vintage Norwegian children's TV.
Coinciding with the rerouting of Oslo's buses, the album brings 10 fresh tracks, still defiantly in the major key, maintaining their Swedophile and Canterbury-esque sound, while taking a nostalgic step closer to the band's childhood stomping grounds in East Oslo.”
"I was rather stricken with their first record, and am happy to announce that the new material surpasses my expectations by a lot... ...Reviving the Canterbury sound has been but a recent phenomenon, and Actionfredag can claim one of the top positions with Zopp and Tom Penaguin. What is so wonderful about this is not only the great music they give us, but also the hope that young people can still perform music that can move my heart." (Pascal Thiel, Disagreement)
