The second album from this artist from Norway.
Lars Fredrik did the mellotron, piano, organ, minimoog, vocals and drum programming here.
Two guests added bass, recorder and flute.
Lars Fredrik Frøislie is a leading member of both Tusmørke and Wobbler. Two big bands in the Norwegian prog rock scene.
His 2023 debut album Fire Fortellinger is a great album and 2023's album of the year. So no pressure then..
Gamle Mester is a concept album about a tree up at Noresund, Norway of the same name. I have passed the tree tens of times but never stopped up and admired it. But thankfully, Lars Fredrik has.
The album is fifty minutes long and we get more of the same as we got on Fire Fortellinger. That is Scandinavian symphonic prog with a lot of folk rock blended into the music.
The vocals is great and the music is both melodic, majestic, epic and complex. There is no guitars here but the mellotron and minimoog does the job together with the piano and the vocals.
The result is a great album and a contender for the album of the year title.
