Yes, one might think, the Norwegian girls'll poured something into the water, but that some later so vorstrefliche jazz musicians, including Torun Erikson, who set here an excellent album in the world. Everything revolves around her voice: a presence, warm and earthy in the deep layers, soft and brittle blessed in the heights and with a wonderful soulful phrasing gives the pieces a very relaxed tone. These occur sparse arrangements of graphic severity, largely spanned between piano, drums and bass trenchant. Where necessary, a saxophone, an electric piano or a pair of choral documents dazugeschichtet.Die clear and dry production avoids all sweetness and fluffed nowhere unpleasant. The result is a sound box with a lot of air and space. The opener faszinert with faszinerend fragile melodies and mandatory Groove, "Words" is reminiscent of the discreet radio Beadie of Belle and drives wonderful brass riffs. The title track opens American expanses and captures the soft electric piano and slide guitar, yes, Nora Jones. "In person" is a meditation from Voice and Piano. "From day to day" creates an airy New Orleans atmosphere, while the final piece with cello bows evokes a warm Depression. Sometimes it is to be hoped that they will find even more their own line. So you think in many respects: "Oh, that reminds me of ..." Still a wonderfully quiet album with many highlights, which contains enough friction and fractures to never to slip into the background.
