TUSMØRKE are an experimental/psychedelic/progressive folk/rock band from Oslo, Norway. Culling influences from such prog-psych luminaries as GONG and CARAVAN, Krautrock giants like CAN and AMON DÜUL 2, acid-leaning folksters like The INCREDIBLE STRING BAND as well as a healthy doses of Nordic folk music, funk, disco, children’s music, and even influences from various metal genres such as black metal, doom metal, and pagan/folk metal, TUSMØRKE present a dark cauldron of magical, musical potions.
The band's history dates to the mid-nineties and a budding Scandinavian scene of new progressive bands. The Momrak twins, who would become the core of TUSMØRKE, called their band LES FLEURS DE MAL. That group included future WOBBLER vocalist Andreas Prestmo and shared the stage with other up-and-coming bands such as WHITE WILLOW. Eventually the collective morphed into TUSMØRKE, whose music is darker, more intense and even primeval than their more delicate predecessor.
