about

Knekklectric has received much praise after releasing their second album in the winter of 2017. "For mange melodia", meaning “too many melodies”, is stuffed with just that: complex instrumental parts, original writing and structure, and vocal melodies that stick to the brain.

"It sounds fucking awesome", the Bergen-based magazine STOFF wrote in their review when the record got released by Tik Records and Apollon Records in January.

Knekklectric, who willingly pay their taxes in Bergen, play clever progressive rock with devious lyrics sung in the Ålesund dialect. Although the songs are sung in Norwegian, Knekklectric has gained interest at smaller radio stations and progmagazines all over Europe and America.

"This album is an accomplished engagement, appealing to all who enjoy top-notch musicianship, and just might convince a few prog heads to include it in their ‘best of’ lists for 2017. For Mange Melodia deserves to rocket to the top of this years releases." Review in Progressive Aspect

“If you’re looking for sunshiny psychedelic rock with progressive leanings, For Mange Melodia provides 30 wonderful minutes to indulge your senses.” Review in Exposè Magazine

"Technical gifted young men with a rare melodic richness" 5/6 Deichmanske musikkblog

"Progressive joy of pop: An album full of good ideas" 5/6 Bergens Tidende

I'm a recent Sanguine Hum convert and I can't believe it's taken me until now to discover them! This is a simply fabulous album. If you're a Steven Wilson, Anathema or even a Gentle Giant, Jellyfish or Hatfield and the North fan, get yourself a copy. Great musicianship, wonderful melodies, superb voice, top songwriting.

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper

Thanks to the nice-endof-year-offer I came to fill this gap in my private worm collection (a, pardon me, worm hole, so to speak :-)) Wonderful reminiscence to many good things past (Canterbury, 70s prog, folk rock) with a good sense of humour and great ideas (both in the songwriting & in the arrangements) .
