ASTROSAUR. IT SOUNDS like it should be the name of some bottom-of-the-barrel stoner rock band that you’d catch opening for Sleep at 7pm. However, the moniker in fact belongs to one of the most truly progressive and original rock trios around right now.
Guitarist Eirik Kråkenes, bassist Steinar Glas and drummer Jonatan Eikum co-founded this instrumental, pulls listeners through a universe of off-the-wall songwriting, jazz-level musicianship and heavy metal exhilaration.
