LAVA "Water" CD
★Supervision and commentary: Kanazawa Toshikazu (Light Mellow)
The popular Norwegian band LAVA's first masterpiece studio album in 14 years has been released in Japan!
"LAVA, often referred to as the 'Norwegian Toto,' have released their latest work, their first studio album in 14 years. Since the release of their live album with an orchestra in 2010, there have been major changes in the line-up, with Frode Mangen (kyd), who was in Ole Boord's band, joining the band permanently. This is a high-quality AOR work that allows you to enjoy Ezil Erdogan's mature vocals. This is the first time that LAVA has been released on CD in Japan." - Kanazawa Toshikazu
LAVA, a popular Norwegian AOR/jazz rock band whose early works such as "Cruisin" (1981) and "Prime Time" (1982) were all reissued at once, has released their first studio album in 14 years since "Alibi" in 2005! Although bassist Rolf Graf passed away in 2013, founding members Svein Dag Hauge and Per Hillestad decided to continue the band with longtime vocalist Egil Eldoen. Their high-quality West Coast AOR, directly descended from TOTO, has never lost its freshness even 42 years after the band was formed!
