Elephant9: Progressive Jazz-Rock from Norway

The World

For this DJ pick I’ve chosen the new album by one of the fiercest bands on the flourishing Norwegian jazz-rock scene, Elephant9. This power trio consists of StÃ¥le Storløkken on keyboards, Nikolai Eilertsen on bass and drummer, Torstein Lofthus.

They started out as a jam band in 2006. “Atlantis” is their third album and this time around they’ve reinforced the band with Swedish guitar maestro Reine Fiske. The result is nothing short of mind blowing.

Here’s the title track:
