The Dredge – Torches (CD)
This is an Apollon Records release.
The Dredge from Bergen (Norway) has been feeding on rock since they were teens, which they are not anymore! One can hear the mix of lived lives and a thousand evenings of rehearsals in what is a band of incredible coordinated interplay. In addition, one can hear the inspiration of so many bands that it is impossible to name them all. Nonetheless, names like Jane’s Addiction, The Police, XTC, Mogwai, The Mars Volta, and The Smile are perhaps among them.
The Dredge is: Kjetil Vikene (vocals, guitars, keys), Mats Andersen (bass) and Helheim drummer Frode Rosjo (drums). The band was founded in the 90s and they have finally managed to let an album escape from their vast vault of original material. And about time! It is a shame that this is only the first album. Rumors have it that this ridiculous slow-moving monster of a band has enough material to fill another five albums.
