Elephant9, the Norwegian progressive rock and jazz fusion collective, invites you to dive into the depths of their 2012 album "Atlantis." Released on Rune Grammofon, this nu jazz-infused journey spans a full hour and is composed of seven immersive tracks, including the enigmatic "The Riddler" and the expansive "Atlantis."
The band's unique blend of genres creates a sound that is both intricate and accessible, with complex compositions that reward repeated listens. "Black Hole" and "Psychedelic Backfire" showcase the band's prowess in crafting dynamic, genre-defying pieces, while "A Foot in Both" and "A Place in Neither" offer moments of introspection and subtle beauty.
"Freedom's Children," the album's closer, is a testament to Elephant9's ability to seamlessly blend progressive rock and jazz fusion, leaving you with a sense of satisfaction and anticipation for what the band will create next. Whether you're a longtime fan of progressive rock or a newcomer to the genre, "Atlantis" is an album that promises to captivate and inspire.
