Blame it on Motorpsycho, but the hard rock forged in Birmingham, the Surrey delta and Hendrix's visionary soul truly lives in Norway now. This debuting supergroup led by Bushman's Revenge guitarist-writer Even Helte Hermansen and including Elephant9 drummer Torstein Loftus have conjured exceptional, spiritual stoner prog-jazz in this seething, structured day's work. After a simmering prelude to Alice Coltrane's ‘Ptah, the El Daoud’ in which Loftus is barely kept on his leash, Trond Frønes' bass begins a band swagger through the melody which sends crockery crashing from the walls. ‘Flew A Little Bullfinch Through the Window’ gives delicate breathing space, the guitar glinting like cobwebs after rain. Then ‘Focus On Insanity’ references Ornette's ‘Focus On Sanity’, and reconsiders harmolodics at Ragnarök. Loftus's kit sounds sky-wide during his relentless drum-roll avalanche, like valkyries swooping from the clouds. Rooted and forced onward by the rhythm section, Bernt André Moen's beaten-up Fender Rhodes solo is followed by Hermansen's laser-bright tone, fracturing in its screaming ascent before battering out a serrated, flick-knife assault. The swinging groove which completes this 10-minute epic would be understood by Ellington, its sonic assault by Coltrane or Sonic Youth, its majesty by Zeppelin. The cohesive individuality retaining shape and purpose to such fiery, ballsy playing, like the spirituality and joy underpinning it, apply jazz thinking to the thunder.
