Procosmian Fannyfiddlers - Interference Number 9 (2012)


The ninth album from this Norwegian band.

The band was an eight piece big band with a lineup of lutt, guitars, bass, keyboards, violin, drums, percussion and vocals.

I have always thought this band was a joke band. I have their second album and that was not to be taken seriously. But the band has been around since 1997 and they are now being taken seriously by most people.

There is nothing that reminds me about jokes and silliness on this album.

The band plays a kind of a mix of Balkan folk rock, symphonic prog and eclectic prog. The music is quirky and not standard. And I do not think the band takes themselves too serious either.

The music is very quirky with some strange rhythms. The music is dominated by the vocals of Heidi Larzen.

There is no rip roaring solos here. There is no solos at all throughout this forty odd minutes long album.

The quality is somewhere between decent and good.

Those who like eccentric, quirky music should check out this album.
