White Willow

Norwegian progressive rock band led by Jacob C. Holm-Lupo, formed in the early 1990s; debut album Ignis Fatuus received critical notice for its atmospheric, folk-tinged symphonic prog.

Review highlights: a misty, somber, gothic atmosphere blended with flutes, mellotron, acoustic guitars, violins and soft female voices. The music mixes Nordic folk and English symphonic progressive styles, with touches of Renaissance flavor and psychedelia. Reviewer names tracks such as "Ingenting" and "The Withering Of The Boughs" as exemplary.
