Susanna Sonata Mix D'Walf Cosmos CD

Japanese pressing packaged in a miniature LP sleeve. This is the debut solo album from Norway's Susanna Karolina Wallumr?d, who is most known for two sublime albums and a number of quietly powerful concerts with Susanna and the Magical Orchestra, a duo which includes member Morten Qvenild (Jaga Jazzist, Shining, in the Country). This time she is simply "Susanna," and she has written twelve highly personal songs that make up this beautiful and quite extraordinary album. She plays piano and guitar and guests include brother and ECM recording artist Christian Wallumr?d (piano), Magical Orchestra partner Morten Qvenild (piano, synth), Big Bang leader ?ystein Greni (guitar), the White Birch leader Ola Fl?ttum (guitar), in the Country drummer P?l Hausken, Helge Sten (guitar, mellotron) and Giovanna Pessi (harp). As Rune Grammofon label head Rune Kristofferson makes clear: "In these fast and restless times of instant entertainment and shortways to possible success, it's a rare treat to witness a young and genuinely talented singer and writer that operates to such a degree outside trends and fashions. Much in the same way as a young Tim Buckley, Nico or Scott Walker without making too much of those comparisons. We are delighted with this lovely addition to the catalog, a work of uncompromising dedication inviting US to reflect and to listen." Sonata Mix Dwarf Cosmos is produced by Death prod (Helge Sten).
