Forevergreens

Description

Considered together, the first three albums of Tonbruket form a consistent trajectory. 'Tonbruket', 'Dig It To The End' and 'Nubium Swimtrip' are an indivisible whole, in which the band remained true to its vision to take conventional jazz formats and shift them in the direction of instrumental rock music. Before they embarked on their new album, however, the four decided to recharge their creative batteries. Thus their fourth album 'Forevergreens' represents a new beginning for Tonbruket. Tonbruket's music has always been uncategorizable by genre, but on 'Forevergreens' they have left even that impalpability behind. Some of the tracks are extremely soft and gentle, romantic, acoustic, jazz-inspired, while others use prog rock as a springboard from which to make the short leap into heavy metal. 'Forevergreens' is both the quietest and the loudest of their albums. They have never ventured quite so close to jazz nor have they strayed quite so far from it. Norwegian pop-diva Ane Brun, who has had Tonbruket as her backing band for a while now, features on two tracks.
