Aunt Mary

Janus

Gatefold. Aunt Mary was a prog rock band formed in Fredrikstad, Ostfold in Norway in the early '70s. They signed a contract with Polydor in Denmark to release 'Aunt Mary' in 1970. The group gradually moved towards progressive rock with the records 'Loaded' in 1972 and 'Janus' in 1973. In the spring of 1973, during the preparations of their third album, Svein and Bjorn decided to take their music even further and spent months together writing for what they wanted to be the band's international album. The music was more prog-orientated than its predecessor. Fans and critics would later compare it to Pink Floyd, King Crimson or even a psychedelic version of The Beatles! In June 1973, the band entered the studio. But its members were so tired of life on the road that they decided to cut the album, do the launch tour and then split up. Knowing that this album was "their swansong," they really did their best to make it shine. The band spent so much time recording that the producer, Svein Robert Ludviksen, almost lost his job. But the album turned out to be what the band would consider "the best of their career."
