Kronstad 23’s Sommermørket is a boundary‑blurring journey through psych rock, jazz, post‑rock and Scandinavian folk. The Bergen-based ensemble channels the exploratory spirit of Motorpsycho, Elephant9, Lotus, Fra Det Onde and Kanaan—drifting through cosmic, Pharoah Sanders‑like currents before igniting into electrified, Tortoise‑meets‑Allman Brothers‑style jams.
Conceived as an escape from inhumane technology and politics in search of something authentic, the music breathes old air and rises into the hazy summer twilight—brittle thoughts that connect and fade. Recorded live to tape at keyboardist Øyvind Vie Berg’s studio in Bergen, often captured on first take, Sommermørket preserves the immediacy and warmth of three sessions across the seasons.
For fans of adventurous Nordic psychedelia, cinematic jazz‑rock and forward‑thinking post‑rock.
