Are they an orchestra? Maybe a little, what with their insertions of eyebrow-raising instruments within the context of rock music oil barrel drums, contrabass and a pump organ to name a few on previous releases. Kaizers Orchestra fills a very specific niche, with alternative rock being far too big a blanket to toss over these gents.
However, hailing from a country renown for its typical exports of black metal and appeasing, Anglo-expressed music doesn't do this native-tongued, whimsical six-piece alt.
Not that the Kaizers (each band member has a stage name ending with “Kaizer”) are particularly obscure (they're quite popular throughout Northern Europe) or have an inaccessible sound, quite the opposite. If you haven't heard of them, it's alright, I hadn't either. Kaizers Orchestra is a Norwegian band who've recently released their 7th LP (the first of a 3-part series), Violeta Violeta Volume I. Review Summary: Kaizers Orchestra bring us their fanciful carnival ride unpredictable, thrilling and a little dizzying.
