Tusmørke have been an entirely frustrating band. Their debut showed immense promise. Their sophomore effort was a slight step back only to have their 3rd album demonstrate a resurgence. And now another regression here on their 4th release. Tusmørke's music tends to be vocal heavy and the music lacks the kind of breaks one looks for in progressive rock. But the overall sound is still welcoming, with a distinct analog 70s feel. And the flute, as usual, provides the requisite warmth and melodic lines. Borderline keeper, but the 23 minute 'Sankt Sebastians Alter' is a cut above the rest.
Ownership: CD: 2017 Svart. This is really the way to do new CD releases. Housed in a tri-fold digipak and comes with a thick booklet containing the lyrics in both English and Norwegian. Also provides a full history about the concept of the album. Fascinating subject matter.
