MESAVERDE – new single out

The gold rush is back on! As the album release draws nearer, the mood in CasaVerde is meditative.

MesaVerde’s new single “Moments” is out on all streaming services and it was released on November 10th, 2023 on legendary Apollon Records. This is the third single from their second album, “All is Well”, which will be released on vinyl, CD and streaming services during the winter of 2024.

“Moments” is a grateful ballad that pauses in the space of realization that we are no more than the sum of the relationships we inhabit.
MesaVerde is a new band based in Oslo, Norway, with one foot planted in pop and another in prog. With their debut album “KY” (released in October 2022), MesaVerde showed a unique ability to produce catchy and innovative music – music shaped with profound love for strong melodies, arrangements and a unique sound. The music is
created and recorded by the band in their own studio. “KY”’s follow-up record is in the making, and “Moments” is the third taste.

The quartet consists of experienced musicians with everything from stadium concerts in Hong Kong, dusty British rock clubs, to the National Theatre among their merits. Jørgen Apeness (Sauropod, Thea & The Wild, Lazy Queen), Lars Fremmerlid (Bugge Wesseltoft,
Einar Stray Orchestra), Henrik Schmidt (Synne Sanden, Shimmering) and Jonas Lundekvam.

A selection of quotes/reviews of “KY” and MesaVerde’s music:
”Prog, indie, alternative, classic rock, blues rock, jazz – you’ll find it all on this remarkable debut; Pop song-
length and melody-oriented songwriting bring lightness to the creative genre mix. (…) ”KY” is bold and cool” – 8/10 in Rock Magazine Eclipsed (3/23 edition) ”KY” included in the list ”Albums of the year: 2022” Deichman Musikk
”Robust in every sense of the word, this disc sounds like nothing else that I have come across, and there is something uniquely surreal and dream-like about its atmosphere that really sucks me in every time I immerse myself in its twelve inventively dynamic compositions” – Eternal-Terror.com on “KY” “Well played down to the last detail”

• Rock Hard Greece on “KY” ”The music here is charmingly off kilter, filled with subtle but odd instrument details, unusual rhythms and song developments but also distinct melodies and pop music sensibilities.”

– Progressor.net on “KY” ” ‘Pyramid Fucksnake’ lacks dance moves but not at the expense of the genuine prog rock that drives it.
Having opened with a brief math rock section that would do justice to Pom Poko I thought I’d mistakenly tuned in to something just unearthed from the back catalogue of Yes that had never been released, from round about the time of ‘Close to the Edge’, and complete with Jon Anderson on vocals and Steve Howe on
guitar.” – Nordic Music Central on “Pyramid Fucksnake”
