WOBBLER
Dwellers Of The Deep KARISMA
Sweden’s retro prog masters take the plunge.
There are many bands out there, skilfully evoking the spirit of prog rock’s first wave, but few nail that warm, analogue-fuelled atmosphere with as much joyous aplomb as Norway’s Wobbler. When they first formed at the arse end of the 90s, the Hønefoss crew were gleefully unfashionable and gently revolutionary. Today, they simply sound like the ultimate retro-minded prog band, with a collective gift for conjuring new, wonderfully vivid and adventurous epics. Early albums like Hinterland and Afterglow were charming enough, but it was 2017’s From Silence ToSomewhere that cemented the Norwegians’ status as one of the key Scandinavian prog bands of the 21st century.
