They are fans of Radiohead - named after the opening track of OK Computer - but when they are not called Airbag then they make a living as a Pink Floyd tribute band. Perhaps that will change with the release of the first full-length album by this five piece from Oslo. Airbag makes dreamy prog pop in which musical depth is more important than complexity. This is expressed in a transparent and… melancholic record full of thin and symphonic keyboard playing and bluesy howling on the guitar. It never becomes psychedelic; the clear and accessible melodies always retain something earthy. Pink Floyd inevitably resonates in that, especially the later, post-Roger Waters version of these prog heroes. But Identity also makes you wonder what all that supposed depth and melancholy is really about. The interchangeable who-I-am-and-what-I-do-here lyrics are full of profound clichés but have little else to say in terms of content. A passion for the genre seems to be the main driving force behind Airbag and that is skilfully reflected on Identity. (MR)more
