Review by Chandra Floyd

Kjetil Møster's album Inner Earth is a captivating and immersive musical journey that showcases the artist's incredible talent and creativity. The album features a blend of experimental jazz, rock, and electronic music, creating a unique and dynamic sound that is both haunting and beautiful.

Møster's mastery of the saxophone is evident throughout the album, with his rich and expressive playing adding depth and emotion to each track. The use of electronic elements and effects also adds a futuristic and otherworldly quality to the music, making it feel like a journey into uncharted territory.

The album's standout tracks include "Journey", a slow-building epic that features soaring saxophone lines and ethereal vocals, and "Inner Earth", a pulsing and hypnotic track that showcases Møster's ability to create a soundscape that is both eerie and mesmerizing.

  • Norwegian release: 12.09.2014
  • International release: 20.10.2014
  • After a hectic summer, touring the festivals with artists such as Röyksopp/Robyn, Lars Vaular, Datarock and Bushman’s Revenge, saxophonist and bandleader Kjetil Møster is now releasing album number two with Møster!, his favourite project. “Inner Earth” is an acerbic and inquisitive masterpiece that is in many ways a clear contrast to the band’s critically acclaimed first album.
  • This time he is joined by the legendary Hans Magnus “Snah” Ryan, guitarist/vocalist in Motorpsycho; Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen, bass player in Elephan9 and BigBang; and the ubiquitous drummer Kenneth Kapstad, also from Motorpsycho and Grand General.
  • The band was formed in connection with a commission for the Kongsberg Jazz Festival in 2010, and released their first album, “Edvard Lygre Møster”, in March 2013 to unanimously glowing reviews. The album was listed among the top 5 debut albums as well as among the top 10 albums in New York City Jazz Records in 2013, and also achieved an impressive 6th place among the year’s albums in Prog Magazine.
  • The debut album “Edvard Lygre Møster” was a powerful, ecstasy-inducing live album, and according to Kjetil Møster this was the sound of a band that “found itself” on stage in front of an audience. “It was a lucky break that we could record it properly,” he says. With this follow-up the band are moving in another direction. “Inner Earth” was recorded with Jørgen Træen at Duper Studio in Bergen, a few storeys away from Kjetil Møster’s rehearsal room in the creative melting pot of Bergen Kjøtt. “As the title indicates, we’ve taken a major step over to the prog camp on the new album,” says Kjetil, although the jazz influence is not particularly difficult to identify this time, either. Where the debut album was extremely spontaneous, direct and fierce, this follow-up is a more searching, prog-influenced, psychedelic and slow-moving voyage, like riding on lava flowing to the earth’s core.
  • The album will be released both as a CD and as a 180g LP in 500 copies with a gatefold cover, with a CD included.
