Today, Edged Circle Productions announces
January 20th, 2023 as the international release date for the striking
debut album of Norway's Natt,
self-titled Natt, on vinyl LP format.
Natt is a new instrumental
band from Bergen. The songwriters behind the music are René Misje (Krakow,
Trust Us) and Roy Ole Førland (Lindy-Fay Hella, Kari Rueslåtten, Malignant
Eternal); Misje handles guitars, bass, piano, clavinet, synthesizers, and percussion
while Førland handles synthesizers. They are joined in the studio session
by bassist Lord Bård and Enslaved drummer Iver Sandøy on drums and percussion.
Their first public work together, Natt is a
three-song/45-minute album. Mesmerizing and at times manic but always magickal,
Natt's music takes the
listener on a journey through clean and calm atmospheres that are released in
large sonorous, melodic, and heavy soundscapes. Like true mavericks, their
music isn't easy to pigeonhole; across the album, one will hear post-rock,
metal, and the progressive end of the scale. Simply, Natt must be experienced.
Although all-instrumental, Natt are
still exceptionally evocative with their massive compositions. The titles of
the three component tracks of Natt reflect the
themes of resistance and challenges during a
lifetime: "Skillevei," facing difficult
choices; "Apell," asking for help, encouraging action;
and "Etterslått," what you are left with, for better or worse.
"We want the titles to give some hints for the interpretation of the
picture, as well," state the band, "who is she, what has she been
through, where is she going."
Gaze upon the gorgeous cover artwork by Nicholas O'Leary and you might begin to
understand where you might go
with Natt's debut album. The
experience is wide-open.
