Keyboardist Ståle Storløkken and bassist Nikolai Eilertsen work together in the trio Elephant9, and this new Norwegian quartet led by saxophonist Kjetil Møster picks up on the same heavy jazz-prog vibe, here leant even more weight by the presence of Kenneth Kapstad, drummer with psych-rockers Motorpsycho. The grooves ploughed by bass and drums are deep and dirty – sounding, when combined with Storløkken's Ra-ish cosmic synth, like some kind of intergalactic take on Bitches Brew. Elsewhere, Storløkken lets rip with filthily distorted Fender Rhodes while Møster digs into a meaty, echo-drenched tenor and, on the final, and longest, track, ‘The Boat’, Eilertsen ups the intensity with Hugh Hopper-style fuzz bass. Sure, it's all unashamedly derivative stuff, but this live set burns with enough enthusiasm and raw energy to bring it screaming to life. If anyone is still in any doubt that Norway is the 21st century prog-jazz capital of the world, this should seal the deal.
