Featuring drummer extraordinaire Keith Carlock (Steely Dan, Toto, Sting) and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Holm-Lupo (White Willow, The Opium Cartel) as well as up-and-coming guitarist Stian Larsen and keyboardists Brynjar Dambo (White Willow) and Bill Bressler, Solstein combines the groovier side of Fusion with elements of Prog.
Inspiration has been taken from the funkier, more melodic end of the Jazz Rock spectrum, with the band name-dropping The Crusaders, Idris Muhammed, Steely Dan, early Bob James and 1970s Herbie Hancock. Given some of the member’s Prog backgrounds, there are also echoes of Camel, Happy the Man and some of the Canterbury scene bands in the beguiling solos.
An accessible yet adventurous triumph.
Vinyl edition.

The project was born after Holm-Lupo and Carlock collaborated with legendary guitarist Georg Wadenius on a track for Holm-Lupo’s Donner project. The collaboration worked so well that the pair decided to work together again on a whole album.
