LILJA - New Single - In Your Arms
"In Your Arms" is part of LILJA's "Mirage" project, which was nominated for the Norwegian Grammy. The song is written over a rhythm that Brazilian percussionist Celio de Carvalho grew up with. The music was written by LILJA, in collaboration with Sofie Tollefsbøl and Erlend Mokkelbost. It is about surrendering to love; both the "big", the "small", and to life itself.
Maridalen - New Album - Gressholmen
For their third album, Maridalen changed their recording space from the wooden church in the scenic valley of Maridalen, just north of Oslo, and from which they take their name, to the island of Gressholmen, 10 minutes from the Oslo harbor. "Gressholmen" the album once again exploits, enriches, and enlarges their unique trio sound, derived from three monophonic instruments - double bass, saxophone and trumpet - creating music possessed of clarity and intimacy, a unique minimalism that never feels sparse or threadbare or overstretched.
