Norma's music is a mixture of ambient, kraut, noise, electronica, indie often with a strict, repetitive bass/drum pattern and a magnificent, wide and almost hypnotic sound. This is rich, panoramic music with a warmth that you don’t hear often from other bands trying to do something in this genre. German kraut is one obvious thing, but also the spacerock of Spiritualized and Spacemen3 comes to mind. Newer references may be Silverbullit, 120 days, Serena Maneesh and the Lionheart Brothers.
Some words about Book of Norma:
"Ok, Ok, OK …… So I know I said a week, but this album came my way this week by Swedish group Norma, entitled Book Of Norma. It’s more than a stunning debut album, it’s bloody fantastic! It’s like sex on your stereo. Hope you’re getting how much I love this album."
Mark, Rock Sellout
"Dark, haunting and absolutely brilliant new single Waste by Swedish trio Norma."
Stytzer, Hits In The Car
"Like a weirdly obvious and dreamy mix between Neu!, Soundtrack of Our Lives and Sigur Ros Swedish Norma descends from the music heaven. Book of Norma is complete genre anarchy where vulnerable melancholy is efficiently mixed with electronic soundscapes and minimalistic krautrock steam machines generating a feeling that never want to stop."
Christian von Essen, Skivkoll.se
