One of the most interesting bands from Bergen nowadays is Funin. "Unsound" is a wonderful mix of symphonic rock, folk and jazz with a distinctive and experimental sound.

are close to Funin's sonic universe.

“Unsound” is a must for all fans of Caravan, Radiohead, Bjørk, Tom Waits, Robert Wyatt, Landberk, Paatos etc. To fully understand Funin’s sound, check out songs like “Everything”, “Tornado” and “Rocking Chair”.

 

NORDAGUST - IN THE MIST OF MORNING

Release: 11.10.2010

 

The name "NORDAGUST" comes from a myth, and acording to that myth "NORDAGUST" was the spirit of the north wind. The spirit was said to be extremely wise, and was supposed to have insight in all things. The spirit was also called "the grieving souls spirit".

 

The music of Nordagust can be described as norwegian-inspired symphonic prog – dominated by mellotron, vocals and guitar. The songs are driven by strong melodies, dramatic arrangements and the skillful use of a vast array of different instruments, sounds and vocals. “Nordagust” include a large number of traditional folk instruments in their sound. On “In The Mist Of Morning” you find Kantele, Dulcimer, Mandolin, Sallowflute, Mouthharp, Conch, Kantele, Accordion and Bells toped of by the untraditional use of Saw, Grindstone, Kettles, Barrels, Axe and Hammers.

 

“In the mist of morning” is a atmospheric musical journey through the deepest woods and valleys of Norway, uniting the essence of progressive rock with the spirit of of the north wind.

 

“In the mist of morning” first came out as a demo in 2007. The record is now re-released on Karisma Records and it has been re-mixed by Bjørnar Erevik Nilsen (Vulture Industries) and re-mastered by Herbrand Larsen (Enslaved) in Conclave and Earshot Studios.

 

The demo version was selected as “progressive record of the month” in Scream Magazine and got great reviews in magazines as Norway Rock, Tarkus and Scream Magazine.
