Norwegian alt-rockers Glutton gets ready to release their most megalomaniacal album yet
The jazzy psychedelic space rock band Glutton is ready to release their third album Eating Music on Apollon Records. The power trio – consisting of Eirik Ørevik Aadland on guitar and vocals, Ola Mile Bruland on bass and Jonas Eide Hollund on drums and vocals – has taken the band in a new direction, creating an album with great variety and contrast.
Eating Music is an atmospheric, exploratory and hard-hitting piece of music, built from improvisation and merging sounds from the progressive rock of the 70s right through to contemporary jazz.
Employing a full horn section, strings from Kari Rønnekleiv (Motorsycho, Ulver, Sunn O)))) and Ole-Henrik Moe (Honest John, Sheriffs Of Nothingness, The Island Band, The Olsens), Thomas Meidell (The Samuel Jackson Five, Mt. Melodie, Metronomicon Audio) and Trond Gjellum (Panzerpappa, Suburban Savages) on samples, synthesizers and percussion, Eating Music has become the sound of several experienced musical forces combining to create an ambitious clash of control and spontaneity.
Mixed by Jonas Kroon (The Samuel Jackson Five, Billie Van, Morten Abel) and mastered by Espen Høydalsvik (Amgala Temple, Jaga Jazzist), Eating Music is scheduled to release on May 24th through Apollon Records Prog, and the first single Pinhole became available for streaming on March 20th.

Their second album, Outliers, garnered critical acclaim, including being listed as one of the best progressive rock albums in 2017 by Norway’s leading prog-rock radio show, ProgLogg. With inspiration taken from a wide range of styles – from seventies progressive rock, jazz and alternative rock à la Radiohead, Battles and The Mars Volta – Outliers was received by both fans and critics with applause:
“Unpredictable, smooth and exiting! A maze of an album which knows how to confuse and amaze you for your own amusement”
– Eviglyttar.no
“Outliers is truly a good record, but mostly it is original and unpretentious with plenty of impressive moments.”
– Progrocks.gr
“You find yourself hooked in the music and you want to hear it again and again. Retro, intense, psychedelic and very well done.”
-Proggnosis.com
“They at times exhibit the punch and intensiveness of The Mars Volta and the beautiful melancholy of Sigur Rós at others.”
-Permafrost.no
“Tastefully progressive.”…”A good album that shows a nice evolution of the group: 8, 4 out of 10”
