Kaizers orchestra gassmaske
English-speaking audiences don't need to understand a lick of Norwegian to identify with Maestro, as it sets a mood so universal in its volatility that even the most xenophobic listener will have no choice but to hit repeat over and over. Kaizers Orchestra lager fengende lter p brynedialekt som ofte spilles p utradisjonelle instrumenter, blant annet oljefat, pumpeorgel og kontrabass. A blues-kissed backbone sticks out on "Knekker Deg Til Sist," "Christiania," and the brutal closer "Pa Ditt Skift," while "Blitzregn Baby" sounds like a collaboration between Ennio Morricone, Supergrass, and the Misfits. Dette albumet er en ny start og en ny grunnmur, sier Janove Ottesen, som for andre gang slipper sin frste soloplate.

They need not worry, however, as the resulting Maestro is nothing short of magnificent. The cocky, gas mask-loving Scandinavians have always seemed poised to make the leap to a major label, especially after racking up the awards for 2003's independently released Evig Pint, but the prospect of hearing their signature blend of pump organs, oil drums, and staccato guitar get the "big time" treatment initially put a scare into longtime fans.
