Review by Johnny Black - first appeared in HiFi News
Scandinavia continues to punch well above its weight, not just with all those spooky tv series, but with extraordinary musical artists. On their second album, Norway’s Atlanter offer a remarkable blend of catchy pop with elaborate prog-rock trimmings. On the six-minute-long Light, for example, they deliver memorably singable vocal hooks adorned with finger-blisteringly precise intertwining guitar hooks. Love Shine, on the other hand, sounds like a Mississippi blues that found its way to the Middle East, while the title track zips along with an airy African vibe reminiscent of Vampire Weekend. Might need a couple of listens but your patience will be rewarded.
