WHOLY MARTIN - Beautiful Night (+CD) (LP/CD)

Wholy Martin is an Norwegian 6 piece band led by Helge Martin Framnes. Beautiful Night is their second album and their first to be released outside Norway. The album provides a fly on the wall listening experience of a band playing together in the comfort of their practice space. The majority of the material was recorded live throughout the course of an intense 5-day studio stint. Framnes’ soul-churning, hypnotic and unpolished baritone croon is contrasted by the angelic, clear-cut harmonies of the group’s five supporting members giving Beautiful Night a unique magical quality. Dark rock n’ roll is seldom more melodically appealing than this.
