What the media says:
About ‘All Will Be Golden’ (Svart Records 2018)
“‘All Will Be Golden’ is one of those albums to put on, sink back, forget about time, and let Superfjord guide you where they will. You’re in good hands.”
– Terrascope UK
“Consciousness-expanding kaleidoscopy”
– Classic Rock Magazine
“The new Superfjord is awesome jazzy Finnish prog that expertly escalates throughout its lengthy songs.”
– Jason Roche, LA Weekly
“A superb mix of Pink Floyd-inspired space rock, progressive jam rock, trance music and mantra chants.”
– Progressive Rock Central
“Magical adventure into 70’s prog psychedelia, with six different musical journeys clocking in at just under fifty minutes. It’s something that needs to be experienced. A true throwback to the greats from yesteryear.”
– Everything Is Noise
“Like a meticulously built layer cake Superfjord creates a full sound in which percussion, keyboards, horns, guitars and polyphonic vocals create a psychedelic whirlpool in which all influences – from Zappa and Santana to Can, Neu!, Pink Floyd, Ravi Shankar, Spiritualized and whatever are mixed to one dazzling, rainbow-colored candy cane that is very tasty.”
– Lords of Metal ezine
About ‘It Is Dark, But I Have This Jewel’ (Suomen Musiikki, 2014)
“Highly recommended”
– MOJO UK
“This is a deeply enjoyable album with haunting tracks that just have to be played again and again; this review has taken me ages to write because I keep getting lost in the music and forgetting to write about it.”
– Terrascope UK
“Soaring reflections of the embrace of the universe, stemming from experimental jazz, psychedelic pop and the softer side of krautrock.“
– Rumba (FI) 6/2014
“Manifestation of the cosmic spirit”
– Soundi (FI) 6-7/2014
“In the center of Superfjord’s universe lies a limitless love for good music.“
– Desibeli.net
About ‘Zappa’ (7” w/ Sendelica, Fruits de Mer 2017)
“Playful, ebullient, ridiculously catchy”
– Shindig Magazine
“Another winning combination from Fruits de Mer”
– Harmonic Distortion
“These guys are superb musicians with limitless sense for style and mood so I’d even say I prefer this to the original right now.”
– Astral Zone
About ‘Coltrane’ (7” w/ Earthling Society, Fruits de Mer 2014)
”Starting with a heavenly host which has been puffing on too much cloud, ”Syd Lives” slide guitars arrive, with infinite strands of fuzz kicking into gear (or gear kicking in) in their wake. Guitar A twines with guitars C, I, and D; every grain separate and full of flavour. On it goes, expanding like the universe, or tiny ripples from a pea pinged into the sea.”
– Record Collector, UK
“An intriguing blend and a cosmic interpretation of this jazz classic.“
– Aural Innovations
“Seven and a half minutes of pure magic… one of the most important 7” releases this year.“
– Psychotropic Zone
“If you are a fan of Gong this disc is going to be kettle of fish (or should that be flying teapot of fish rising)”
– A Box Of Dreams
“Excellent stuff indeed”
– Terrascope UK
