Kanaan is a dynamic musical entity known for its exploratory and improvisational approach to rock, with a sound that melds psychedelic rock, jazz, and post-rock influences. The Norwegian band, consisting of members Ask Vatn Strøm (guitar), Eskild Myrvoll (bass, synths), and Ingvald André Vassbø (drums), has been carving a niche for itself in the European underground music scene since their formation. The trio's strong chemistry and experimental edge are evident across their discography, which showcases their ability to traverse musical landscapes that range from ethereal ambience to full-throated riff-driven crescendos.

Kanaan's recent releases demonstrate their penchant for both structured compositions and expansive jams. With albums such as "Windborne" and "Double Sun", the band has established their capacity to craft narratives within their music that captivate listeners and take them on a journey. Their "Diversions" series, including "Diversions Vol. 1: Softly Through Sunshine" and "Diversions Vol. 2: Enter the Astral Plane", highlights their ability to gracefully maneuver through varied sonic territories while maintaining a cohesive sound. Each release invites the audience into Kanaan's evolving universe, marked by fluid musical interplay, textured soundscapes, and a relentless pursuit of the new and the transcendent.
