It’s official. I have a new obsession. Norwegian folk/rock proggy outfit Kerrs Pink. Gorgeous album – Art of Complex Simplicity – just delightful – will definitely be tracking this one down to purchase. Exactly the kind of music I really love to hear. Melodic rock with fairly folky roots, largely instrumental and even a little new agey in places – makes me feel as though all is right with the world, somehow, and is super evocative – structurally quite classical in parts, with rock breaks – or is that the other way around? And keeping a certain gravitas without being depressingly gothic. There’s such a fine line between this type of prog/rock/folk where restraint is exercised - a beautifully measured pace throughout, vs that which is over-embellished – must be so tempting to break out wildly, I can imagine, but it turns off that switch for me. Maybe one of the reasons this lot seem to work so well is that they range quite widely in age (in their most recent incarnation at any rate) and I like to think there’s a bit of an apprenticeship to a master/s taking place! Lovely guitar work - can’t believe I’ve never heard of them up to now. They have been through several line-up changes with Harald Lytomt being the driving and pivotal creative force, although he wasn’t at the very beginning - I need to explore their back catalogue.

Art of Complex Simplicity was released in 1997 and started life as a solo Harald Lytomt project but then evolved with the inclusion of a previous lyricist and several past members. The title seems perfect.

An instrumental – the dreamy “Never Land” … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3HHbvXLQOo

And another instrumental - “The Hero of Chivalry” … don't think there was a single track I didn't like ...
