Ossicles

Ossicles is a Norwegian jazz/progressive rock project founded in 2011 by Sondre Veland and Bastian Veland.

Influenced by many genres, including jazz, pop, progressive rock, art rock, post rock/punk, noise, drone, ambient, folk, and almost everything else, Ossicles is a constantly evolving project.

Cousins Sondre and Bastian Veland formed Ossicles in 2011 and went on to self-release their debut full-length album Mantelpiece, which was largely written by the duo when they were 16/17 years old. The following year, few could have foreseen the extraordinary response it was to receive from much-respected musicians like Porcupine Tree’s Steven Wilson who said of it, "I can’t believe that such young guys can make music like they do", and Mike Portnoy, who invited the band to appear live as a result of hearing it.

Mantlepiece has now re-released via Karisma Records for you to enjoy.
