2005, Rune Grammofon (Norway)
#52 Seller of 2005! In The Kingdom Of Kitsch You Will Be A Monster is Shining's third album and their first for Rune Grammofon, marking a somewhat distinct change of direction. While their previous offerings could easily be categorised as jazz, their new album is a much more varied affair that has more in common with progressive art rock, going from heavy, complex riffing to subtle and lyrical passages. For the first time they use a number of guitars, vintage keyboards, horns and percussion instruments. But forget endless synth soloing, twenty minute directionless 'symphonies' and incomprehensible lyrics about cosmos. This is a fresh, vital and highly evolved collection of music, and it´s quite remarkable to think it´s all written and conceived by someone so young. Producer Kare Chr. Vestrheim has been instrumental in shaping the album. He is a rising star in Norway having produced indie acts such as Hanne Hukkelberg as well as highly successful local chart acts such as Odd Nordstoga and Gate.
