SVANFRIDUR-What's Hidden There-Iceland '72 prog rock-NEW CD
SVANFRIDUR - What's Hidden There,
Iceland 1972
(SHADOKS 124)
new CD
reissue
The Icelandic prog-rock band Svanfrídur released only one album, recorded six months after they played their first gig.
This short-lived band rapidly rose to fame, receiving rave reviews for live performances, but in fact their music was way ahead of its time.
They were unable to seal a recording contract so they formed their own label - Swan Records.
When the album ¿What¿s Hidden There?¿ was released in autumn 1972 it got mixed reviews and sold only a few hundred copies, leaving the band with a great album but sadly not the income they had been hoping for.
Recorded at London¿s Majestic Studios the album was cut and pressed in England.
Perhaps one of the best heavy prog / underground album from Scandinavia with amazing guitar & all English vocals.
Would have been a famous and successful album on Decca UK.
