Description/Reviews:
Trojka is another Bergen band, one which leans much more towards the prog side of the spectrum, with a touch of Canterbury flavor midway between the pop leanings of Caravan and the quirky instrumental work of Hatfield and the North. At times there’s a similarity to Kultivator as well, a connection helped by the prominence of electric piano in the arrangements. The rhythms sometimes lean towards funk, though the intent is more akin to jazz than disco. The band is a trio of keyboards (August Riise), bass (Simon Kverneng), and drums (Gjert Hermansen), occasionally joined by saxophone, flute, or vibes. I detected guitar on only one track, a very nice bit of acoustic finger-picking on “Alltid En Gåte.” The sound is breezy and clean (barring the occasional growly low end on the electric piano), and never ventures into darkness or dissonance. I Speilvendthet is a fun listen, perfect for those days where you’re looking for a break from harsh music, something happy but not mindless. (Jon Davis at expose.org)Media/Samples
