Airbag’s 2020 conceptual outing A Day at the Beach features six new songs recorded during autumn and winter of 2019-20. Inspired by the resurgence of 1980s electronica, new wave and movie scores, Airbag has created a powerful sound combining ethereal soundscapes with the band's signature guitar driven Progressive Rock.
Norwegian Airbag's "Identity" gives us the sound of rich classic progressive rock blended with scenic soundscapes, epic guitars and soulful vocals.
Artists like Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, No-Man and Talk Talk definitely inspired Norwegian band Airbag. Their unique sound results in classic prog, symphonic rock with scenic sound scapes. Their music is introspective and full of atmosphere. "Identity" is a remarkable album that you can listen to repeatedly.
"The Greatest Show on Earth" is Airbag's third album, following on from their highly acclaimed albums "Identity" and "All Rights Removed". Six atmospheric songs are given, where the title track is divided in two partitions though. Heavy outbursts are rare, the production mirrors a relaxed flow overall. While the musicianship is flawless and Asle Tostrup provides a rather perfect singing voice, they are using a proven formula - consisting of dominant Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree ingredients, plus a proper pinch of melancholy.
