Description

Ossicles is a Norwegian jazz/progressive rock project founded in 2011 by the brothers Sondre and Bastien 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. The music is rich in atmosphere and the vocals sometimes serve as another instrument carrying the melody. The songs structures and the overall sound is in the style of Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree with the transition with some slow paced acoustic passage to heavier electric sections. The mood of the music is mostly dark and the tempo rather slow but the emotion with occasional burst of heavier guitar parts is perfectly developed to create some beautiful songs and catchy chorus. Mantlepiece is complex and experimental and at the same time easy to enjoy from the first listen. Definitely a high quality album
