about

On May 15th 2020, in the early days of Covid lockdown, Bergen's legendary Major Parkinson did a scaled down streaming concert from the music room at Bergen Public Library.

Stripped down to the core, their songs were able to shine in a much more vulnerable way than usual, something that resonated well with their fans all around the world in what we all hoped would be a short hiccup in normal existence. Now we know better, so we would like to present these renditions on psysical media as well.

"A Night at the Library" will be available digitally, on Digisleeve CD, limited three-sided black double LP, and limited three-sided white double LP.

CD/Digital will be released on March 11th, and the vinyl versions on June 3rd.

In the meantime, relive the magic in this magnificent video: youtu.be/6PIP36aczlg

about

Major Parkinson Bergen, Norway

Major Parkinson is a particle collider of huge, cinematic melodies, catchy pop hooks, impossible rhythms and psychedelic lyrics. A distinctly different band, with an unconventional, associative and almost irrational approach to the art of writing music.

A Boat on the Sea
by Moron Police

A catchy fusion between prog, rock and metal, bathed in exquicite electronic catchyness and littered with anime brainworm melodies. A playful and vibrant package that'll make you at least 5% happier. Major Parkinson

Only just learned of ‘Singin’ to God’ and have been listening to it on repeat - alternating with Tim Smith’s original - every day for the last week. What a beautiful tribute to him and so brilliantly executed. Hats off to all involved in this breathtaking recreation. A real achievement. thsmusic

Sorry To Disturb You (album)
by ARMY of MOTHS

supported by 17 fans who also own “A Night at the Library”

Soaring theatrical catchy rock and pop tunes that are not boring and segue and evolve linearly from one to the next. If they sound this big with DIY production, imagine how insanely huge they’d sound with big time production. Sound in the neighborhoods of Bowie, Floyd, and Cardiacs. This whole record moves me and I can’t pick a favorite song. marc_ian
