Major Parkinson

Data updated on 2025-06-14 09:45:30 UTC
Major Parkinson is a Norwegian avant-garde pop group with five critically acclaimed full-length albums to their name: Major Parkinson (2008), Songs from a Solitary Home (2010), Twilight Cinema (2014), Blackbox (2017) and Valesa, Chapter I: Velvet Prison (2022 - TBR).

Their free-flowing and unrestrained songwriting is constantly evolving and expanding into new musical borderlines and territories, and the upcoming album, Valesa: Chapter I, could be seen as a lighter and more extroverted work than previous albums – while clearly maintaining the band’s experimental core operation. Earlier comparisons to Cardiacs still ring true, while there are echoes of names as diverse as Arcade Fire, Depeche Mode, Leonard Cohen, Duran Duran, Poppy, and Bruce Springsteen on Valesa.

Splashing about in their very own, near-overflowing bubble of progressive rock, avant-garde pop, dark humor and theatre, some claim Major Parkinson to be Norwegian music’s best kept secret. Yet, to their loyal and growing fanbase, they certainly are no secret.
