The Essence of Norway

Plastiqmusic / Tooth and Nail

I’m having a hard time finding anything useful to say about this, other than it sounds like it came right out of the Eighties. Sensitive vocals, thumping drum machines, and synthesizers, synthesizers and more synthesizers for ten tracks. Certain physicists say time travel is impossible, but by playing this loud you can achieve a reasonable facsimile. Produced by Joy Electric’s Ronnie Martin, of course.
