Splashgirl

Splashgirl is the young, exciting norwegian alternative piano trio featuring Andreas Stensland Løwe (piano, acoustic guitar, Casio SK5), Jo Berger Myhre (double bass, zither, kantele, radio) and Andreas Knudsrød (drums, percussion, mandolin).

The disc further develops a fusion of contemporary acoustic jazz and chamber music known to fans of musicians including Christian Wallumrød, Trygve Seim and Paul Bley, but taken further with references to post‐rock bands like Mogwai and Sigur Rós, as well as 20th century composers like Eric Satie, Steve Reich and Morton Feldman. In May 2008, Splashgirl began recording its second album, Arbor, which demonstrated a slight change of style

Splashgirl: Field Day Rituals

Read "Field Day Rituals" reviewed by Glenn Astarita
