Is it? I'll have to listen to it again.
Been spinning this sepia sonofabitch again lately:
I mean this is definitively sepia. Also one of my favourite modern albums.
My copy of Isobar - II arrived in the mail today. Spinning it now, and I've already streamed this a couple of times and have the first Isobar disk. This will take a few more listens to sink in, but I like it.
BTW, I realized I have another album titled "We Were Here, by Malcolm Smith which Mattias had also recommended to me. Mattias also drums on this one - it was released under the name Malcolm Smith in 2014. I got it about a year ago; it's been a while since I've listened to it, but this one is also good. And here 'tis:
In case I didn't make it clear above, this music doesn't really, IMO, fit the sepia-toned "mold," such as it is. But it's good. YMMV.
^ I’ve got We Were Here too (got it in 2015 I think). Really love the tune Monkey Signature, but the whole disc is quite nice. Good to see mention of it here.

New Jupu Group coming the end of May. How come I can't quit playing this?!
^Decent, but not a bit of sepia.
Thanks for clearing that up Moe.
"Now the band, led by Juhani Poutanen, has risen from almost half a century of hibernation and put together a band of young musicians for the new Jupu Group album. With the release of Paths Growing in Umpeen, the album will feature new instrumental pieces as well as compositions by Helena Anhava, Helvi Juvonen, Otomo no Yakamoch and Meerika Ahlqvist. The songs are united by a certain sadness as the lyrics deal with loneliness, animal suffering, and death."
Sadness, loneliness, suffering and death aren't sepia enough. Got it.
Yep. Amazing how things can be set up for something and still fail. Isn't the first time. (Btw, the sound is what doesn't match, not the lyrical content.)
With a debut LP released last year, Keido is actually a new band on the Finnish progressive rock scene, however their stuff is adequately sepia-toned.
This Swedish band sounds simple but nice and relaxing:
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
I really enjoyed that song. Lovely organ patterns, the effect is unusually visual somehow, if that makes sense. I could "see" this song quite well. And I was sober! Bookmarked the live show video for later. Seems like the music is almost totally arranged around the voice of the organ, and like the player has a great sense of dynamic and melody and really knows the instrument.

Sagor och Swing's keyboardist Eric Malmberg is heavily influenced by Bo Hansson (no surprises here) and had Hansson guesting on synthesizers on his Verklighet & Beat album in 2007.
Sagor och Swing still are active and released music inspired by the Astrid Lindgren book The Brothers Lionheart in 2020.
I really love this. Dunno if it's sepia enough, but whatever. The cover is though!
No Hammonds here I'm afraid onlyNu är det minimoog & trummor,

The whole Drums and Organ thing is very big over there in Sweden. For those interested, here's Trummor & Orgel.

And I know the sepia is a bit thin on these, but anyone remember Rikard Sjöblom and Petter Diamant's Bootcut?

Thanks to Zappathustra for the tip!
Drenched in holy 'tron!!!
How did I miss this? Maybe it came out before the debut?
Yeah, thanks to him I grabbed that one and their self titled album from bandcamp yesterday.
Great stuff!

They're reasonably great for sure.
But guys, seriously sincerely - Escarlate are from Brazil.
Although they're releasing their stuff on Apollon Records - which situates in Bergen. Where I grew up.

They don’t have sepia in Brazil?
They obviously do, but then it's not from Scandinavia. And Brazilian music in general often employs some harmonic constellations somewhat distinct even from many other South American regions (such as the Andes).They don’t have sepia in Brazil?
I've been treating myself to those first three White Willow-records these past weeks, for the first time in many years I may add. They aren't as glossy/mighty in neither sound nor scale as the last four releases, yet my overall fave tracks of theirs are to be found on these. I always championed Sacrament as the band's most coherent effort, arguably because I seem to fall short on a couple of songs from each album yet tend to dig everything on offer here. Still there's also a feeling of firm unity to proceedings, setting goals of grandness to the whole as opposed to lesser ones along the way.
"The Reach" is a mofo piece of ass sport touch of class.
