Während sie die immer schwer fassbare Ghost Of Pop-Musik von den Anfängen ihres gleichnamigen Debütalbums bis in die Gegenwart gejagt haben, hat sich die Band immer innerhalb eines melodischen Kerns weiter entwickelt, dies oft unter einem Schleier progressiver Experimente.
Auf ‘Valesa‘ sind alle Fesseln gelöst, der Vorhang zurückgezogen, während ihre Kompositionen mit neuem Fokus und Erfindungsgabe aufpoliert werden. Nicht unbedingt weniger vertrackt, aber definitiv poppiger. Das Album enthält 17 akribisch ausgearbeitete Songs, die neue klangliche Territorien erkunden und vor dem politischen Hintergrund der 1980er Jahre spielen.
Das Album ruft ein allumfassendes Gefühl unguter Nostalgie hervor, wie die Menschheit, die gemeinsam mit einer zersprungenen, rosaroten Brille in die Vergangenheit blickt. Die Instrumentierung ist kraftvoll und eindrucksvoll. Gitarren schwellen mit Subtilität an, während Bass und Schlagzeug die Grundlage für eine Explosion von Synthesizern bilden.
Major Parkinson announces their long-awaited return with the new album Valesa – Chapter I: Velvet Prison, released on CD and viny October 2022. The ever-evolving seven-piece has emerged from the primordial darkness of 2017’s Blackbox, into a neon haze of progressive synthpop/rock. Having chased the ever-elusive Ghost of Pop music from the early days of their eponymous debut album to the present, the band has always thrived within a melodic core – often clad under a shroud of progressive experimentation. On Valesa – Chapter I, the shackles are off, the curtain pulled back, as their compositions extrapolate with new focus and invention. Not necessarily less intricate, but definitely more pop. The album features 17 meticulously crafted songs that explore new sonic territories, set to the political backdrop of the 1980s as they tap into the Zeitgeist of a period in human history that proved tantamount in shaping our world. From the halls of an abandoned American high school to the wine-stained head of Gorbachev — the album evokes an all-encompassing feeling of uneasy nostalgia, like humanity collectively looking back in time with a pair of cracked, rose-tinted glasses. The instrumentation is powerful and evocative. Guitars swell with subtlety as the bass and drums provide the groundwork for an explosion of synths as keyboardist, Lars Christian Bjørknes, takes center stage to create something wholly unique. Returning female vocalist, Linn Frøkedal, joins with the band’s very own Peri Winkle to complement Jon Ivar Kolbotn’s enraptured vocals and guide us through the brightly coloured maze of Valesa – Chapter I. Weaving between nostalgia and failed revolutions, this album is a completely unique star in the soundtrack of 2022, offering you something that has rarely been done in any field of music.
