About

Agropelter is a progressive rock project from Norway. It is the creative outlet of Kay Olsen, a new contender on the blossoming norwegian prog scene. The music lends as much inspiration from the classic prog groups like Genesis, Camel, King Crimson and Eloy, as it does from classic composers Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Bach along with Vangelis and Terje Rypdal. 

On the debut album you can expect lots of Mellotron, Hammond organs, cembalo, ARP and Moog synthesizers and bass pedals. Kay Olsen have played all guitars, bass, Hammond and church organ, and keyboard leads. 
Also contributing:

Jonas Reingold (Steve Hackett, The Flower Kings) on fretless bass. 

Mattias Olsson (Änglagård, White Willow, Molesome) on percussion, Mellotron, overdubs and atmosphere.

Andreas Sjøen (Umpfel, VÅDE, Sean Ashe) on drums along with lots of classical musicians on various strings and woodwinds. 

The record is mixed and mastered by Jacob Holm-Lupo (White Willow, Donner, Solstein) at Dude Ranch Studios.

The Agropelter debut will be released on The Lasers Edge July 25th.
