*. Major Parkinson .*

Album: Twilight Cinema (2014)
Genre: Prog Rock (Eclectic/Cabaret/Exp./Pop/Electronic/Dark)  /  Norway

The third album of Major Parkinson shows a band that has matured significantly. The work has been named Twilight Cinema and is mixed by legendary Yngve Saethre in Duper Studio. The whole thing has been a dark, uncompromising and ambitious journey through a dense forest of melodies, closely accompanied by a black river of doom poetry. Twilight Cinema is a darker version of Major Parkinson than the one we know from previous releases, without having gone beyond the band's character. The classic Parkinson-like melodies have now found their place in a far tighter directed and more electronic sound. (https://majorparkinson.bandcamp.com)
