Music requires something unique for the fans to feed on. This is an aspect that is clear to Kosmoratik band and can be seen in each one of their tracks. They have mastered the art of layering in order to give depth to their music. It gives the track a new sense of depth and allows every word to communicate something different. The pioneers of this band were Eivind, Lise Lotte and Gunner Odd who started as an experimental group. They are based in Oslo, from where they have been operating since 2011.
The band rewarded their fans with their first album in 2012. It received incredible reviews and air play. It also enabled them to tour the world and perform in sold-out concerts. They gave it the title Gravitation. The common style in the album was symphonic pop and classic rock which resulted in epic tunes. The group has dominantly incorporated oboe, string quartet and acoustic guitar in each of their songs. The sound combination is professional and produces beautiful music that has won the hearts of followers from all age groups.
Fans wanted more music from them after the release of their first album. This pressure and success from the first album has fueled production of the second album under the title Bridges and boats. It has maintained the epic, symphonic and classical element that distinguishes the group. The band has taken the experiment further by trying out the 60s and 70s rock feel. The melodies are carefully selected and so are the words. Professional arrangement and melody patterns complete the incredible package.
The themes handled in songs by this group are deep and a bit complex. The concept of layering has been fully exploited giving each song or lyric a double meaning. The second album still incorporates the element of classical and symphonic rock leading to very addictive music. Bridges and Boats shows an incredible improvement and mastery of what was experimented in the first album.
Johansen is a pivotal member of the pioneering trio and has played a huge part in its success. His reputation as an arranger has seen their songs break records on chats. Every track presents a unique sound and melody that is superb to the ears. There is an element of ballad in his compositions.
The excellent sounds on each track in both albums are the work of Gunner Odd. He is an excellent guitarist and doubles as an arranger. On the vocals is Lise Lotte, a seasoned singer whose prowess began at an early age. Her talent is natural and allows her to switch seamlessly between classical jazz and rock. She has a captivating and endearing voice that is also distinct.
Gravitation raised the level of expectations from the second album. The fans who were attracted by the first album waited eagerly for the second. The inspiring artists for members of this team include John Martyn and Nick Drake. They cite their style as unique and progressive. As a group, they seek to be as successful as the Beatles who ruled their generation.
The poetic aspect in their lyrics is inspired by Hafez and Rumi. They were exemplary poets during their era. The music of this band is streamed online or distributed in neighborhood stores. It exemplifies composure, professionalism and deep thought at every level of preparation.
