    GURANFOE

    This Norwich-based quartet first appeared on my radar when their track, Night’s First Light, appeared on the cover CD for Prog 104. The jaunty Canterbury-esque frivolity immediately piqued my interest, bringing to mind the playfulness and dexterity of Syd Arthur. Already signed to Norwegian prog experts Apollon Records, their debut album, Sum Of Erda, appeared towards the end of last year. The skittish interplay of guitarists James Burns and Ollie Snell is an absolute delight, layered over the bedrock of rhythm section Robin Breeze (bass and Hammond) and Joe Burns (drums). The addition of flute, clarinet, recorder, violin and vibraphone from additional musicians adds to the bucolic charm. Will the lack of vocals on their epic workouts hamper their progress? On current showing, I think not.
