Chronique disque - Trond Kallevåg : Minnesota Fidèle à une musique dont nous ne sommes pas forcément les plus connaisseurs (nous avons, ainsi laissé passer ses deux précédents albums), Trond (…)

We were pleasantly surprised to discover the music of @trondkallevag.bsky.social , a blend of American blues and Scandinavian folk, all sprinkled with a touch of jazz. The album is fittingly released on Hubro, of course.

Trond Kallevåg – Minnesota (2025) With Minnesota, guitarist and composer Trond Kallevåg deepens his image-rich sound – a warm, wistful universe where the atmosphere of Norway’s rugged west coast drifts seamlessly into the wide horizons of the American Midwest. Drawing inspiration from traditional music, jazz, ambient folk, emigration stories, and rare photographs unearthed during an artist residency on the unique […]

Liv Andrea Hauge Trio – Døgnville (2025) A dry mouth, sore muscles and a pounding headache led Liv Andrea Hauge to write the music on this short but deep-reaching record. The Norwegian pianist was tucked up in bed, sweating and shivering with high fever. Through the murky fug of ill health, she identified a series of rhythmic and melodic shapes that now […]

Benedicte Maurseth – Mirra (2025) On the album Mirra, the innovative folk musician Benedicte Maurseth once again invites us to the vast Hardangervidda plateau—this time with a focus on the wild reindeer. When Benedicte Maurseth released the album Hárr in 2022, the visionary Hardanger fiddle player was praised for creating a masterpiece. Her blend of the distinctive sound of the […]

Beiggja – Morning (2025) In late winter 2024, pianist Kjetil Mulelid, saxophonist Kika Sprangers, bassist Mats Eilertsen, and drummer Per Oddvar Johansen gathered in Per Oddvar’s homey surroundings in Lommedalen. Everyone brought a few tunes and ideas, then hit “record” and let the music take shape. It turned out to be a beautiful first encounter, leading to the recording […]

Geir Sundstøl – Sakte film (2025) Sakte Film (Slow motion) is the sixth and most ambitious solo album of Norwegian, Oslo-based guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer Geir Sundstøl celebrating his tenth anniversary as a solo artist. This genre-defying, with layers of resonant string instruments, flirts with close and far folk traditions, blues, country music, jazz, space music à la Tangerine Dream, and […]

Erlend Apneseth – Song over støv (2025) A pizzicato violin opens Song Over Støv. Gradually, other instruments arrive: bowed violin, a fluttering flute, pattering percussion, an ominous double bass. They merge. The climax is furious, intensely rhythmic. Suddenly, it is over. “Straumen frobi” – which translates from Norwegian as The Current Passing By – sets the scene for five more equally dynamic, […]

Building Instrument – Månen, Armadillo (2025) Norwegian trio Building Instrument – Mari Kvien Brunvoll, Åsmund Weltzien, Øyvind Hegg-Lunde – returns with new sounds full of dreamy pop hooks, sparkling synth textures and beguiling lyrics about the moon, spirit, animals and the experience of simply being alive. As the pop sensibility is filtered through an aesthetic of playful experiment, the gorgeous, brightly […]
