Major Parkinson

Free spirit cinematic rock? Vaudevillian Kaleidoscope Pop? It is not easy to find the music that the Norwegian septet formed in 2003 MAJOR PARKINSON celebrated, adequately put into words. It's catchy and progressive at the same time. Where there was just a motley freak show, dark clouds come up and the sad clown's tears roll down his make-up face. You can look forward to a panopticon of the past, the present and the future with this instrumental band that is reinventing itself with every album. Here Nick Cave meets System Of A Down, Tom Waits goes to Gogol Bordello, the Cardiacs celebrate a ritual with Oompa-Loompas, club-like beats meet epic Art Rock, from folky fjords to the surfy beach, compositional minimalism and its decadent sister go hand in hand, and sometimes absurd texts enthrone all of this. Seeing and hearing MAJOR PARKINSON is not just an experience, it's a journey.
