MoHa!: One-Way Ticket to Candyland
by John Kelman
Following up the dense mesh of noise improv, outrageous electronics, angry rock rhythms, and occasional ambient relief of Norwegianism (Rune Grammofon, 2007), Norwegian duo MoHa! shifts gears on the more structured One Way Ticket to Candyland. Anders Hana and Morten J. Olsen--who, between the two of them, create a joyous noise on conventional ...
Hilde Marie Kjersem: A Killer For That Ache
by John Kelman
When singer/songwriter Hilde Marie Kjersem performed with her group in May, as part of a Bokna Fjord and Lysefjorden boat tour during the JazzNorway in a Nutshell 2008 showcase, she had a lot of things going against her. The group was performing outdoor on the boat's deck with a barely adequate PA system, the wind created ...
Elephant9: DodoVoodoo
by John Kelman
As a member of groundbreaking noise improvisors Supersilent, whose 8 (Rune Grammofon, 2007) was one of last year's best, co-conspirator with percussionist Thomas Strønen in Humcrush (Rune Grammofon, 2004), co-op member of Transatlantic electronic improv group Box with its debut Studio 1 Rune Grammofon, 2008) and guest on the tranquil stasis of Supersilent mate/trumpeter Arve Henriksen's ...
Scorch Trio: Brolt
by John Kelman
First impressions may be lasting, but they're sometimes not as all-encompassing as they should be. Scorch Trio--the Norwegian/Finnish power trio featuring guitarist Raoul Bjorkenheim, bassist Ingebrigt Haker Flaten and drummer Paal Nilssen-Love--may appear to be a pedal-to-the-metal improvising power trio, a sense supported by Luggumt (Rune Grammofon, 2004). Still, over the course of three albums culminating ...
Skyphone: Avellaneda
by John Kelman
Following up its 2004 Rune Grammofon debut, Fabula, Skyphone's Avellaneda may be the most beautiful near-pop record of 2008. This Danish trio makes music so song-like that it could, with added lyrics and a different approach to production, easily exist in the kind of dreamy experimental post-rock terrain of Iceland's Sigur Rós. In its seamless integration ...
Box: Studio 1
by John Kelman
Studio 1 not only represent the debut of a significant new group on the electronic improv scene, but a transatlantic supergroup at that, with musicians hailing from Finland, Norway, Sweden and the United States. Box was originally formed when writer/film-maker Philip Mullarkey brought together guitarist Raoul Björkenhiem (Krakatau, Scorch Trio), keyboardist Ståle Storløkken (Supersilent, Humcrush), drummer ...
Food: Molecular Gastronomy
by John Kelman
Losing a key member of a quartet can be challenging; losing two can be disastrous. There's no doubt that the departure of bassist Mats Eilertsen and trumpeter Arve Henrkisen from Anglo/Norwegian improvising collective, Food, has mandated significant change since its final effort as a quartet, Last Supper (Rune Grammofon, 2004). Based on their performance at Punkt ...
