Rune Grammofon

"Eyolf Dale and André Roligheten aka Yonkers are already three albums into their career and showing a maturity in writing and playing that is betraying their age considerably. The album was recorded during what the duo describe as a magic late night...

"Alog's fifth album was recorded in a wide range of spaces and places -- from recordings of Dag-Are Haugan and Espen Sommer Eide as street musicians in San Francisco while touring, to scavenging old collections of 78 rpm records in the mining town of...

"This is the third and possibly final installment in the Low Digitals series by non-Norwegians Luigi Archetti and Bo Wiget. Low Digitals is a series of extremely fine-tuned pieces that mix acoustic instruments and electronic elements in a subtle and...

"These days, it's quite an unlikely event that a non-Norwegian artist will end up releasing a record on Rune Grammofon. But when presented with these recordings, the label realized that this was simply too good to turn down. French group Astrïd began...

The unique Finnish composer and guitar master Raoul Bjrkenheim teams up with the hot, young Norwegian rhythm section of Ingebrigt Hker Flaten (bass) and Paal Nilssen-Love (drums) in a classic powertrio setup. Burning with an untamed energy this is neit...

"This is the debut release by Box: Raoul Björkenheim (guitars, viola da gamba), Trevor Dunn (bass), Ståle Storløkken (keyboards, electronics), Morgan Ågren (drums). Something of an international supergroup, the founding of this excellent ensemble is a...

"This is the fourth album from Bushman's Revenge, and their third on Rune Grammofon. It's no secret that the label has a soft spot for this fabulous group and would wish nothing less than world domination for them. What they do seems to be an almost...

"This is the third album by Norway's Bushman's Revenge (Even Helte Hermansen, Gard Nilssen, Rune Nergaard). Like great records from Elephant9, Scorch Trio, Supersilent, In The Country, Spunk, Fire! and others, Jitterbug was recorded in the old...

"This is the companion to the Bonanza album, recorded and mixed during the same sessions in Athletic Sound in summer 2011. Here they cover some of their personal favorites, fully showing the diversity of artists that is so typical for the listening...

Power trio music that does somehow manage to combine stoner rock and punk/jazz, harmolodics, etc.

"This is the second full-length release by Norway's Bushman's Revenge (Even Helte Hermansen, Gard Nilssen, Rune Nergaard). You Lost Me At Hello...

1999 release. "Dingledoodies, their second album for Rune Grammofon, is a much more optimistic record than Whatever and in many ways a far more polished production. It´s a more immediately melodic and catchy record; from the irresistible pop refrains...

"1998 release. "In ´92 and ´93 Chocolate Overdose released two very ambitious albums for WEA in Norway. However, the combination of a truly original band, a major label, an expensive producer, media hype and lack of immediate results once again proved...

Shockingly great Norwegian jazz-rock band who add a bit of modernity and noise to the old school sound of overdriven organ and Rhodes piano (plus some synthesizer), along with electric bass and drums. Definite hints and helpings of Miles circa 1971...

Smokin' hot, great sounding - those BBC engineers know what they are doing - vinyl only, live in the studio release by this great organ trio. Highly recommended, as are all of their releases. Limited, hand numbered edition of 500 and released only on...

"The second album from this excellent Swedish trio, something of a supergroup with members from already well-known projects. This time they collaborate with the legendary Jim O'Rourke. With their hypnotic, psychedelic jazz of sorts, they have carved...

"The fourth album from this quartet and quite possibly their very best. Brilliantly performed and recorded, it's highlighting the delicate balance between Ballamy and Henriksen's melodic and lyrical playing and the electronic soundscapes they fully...

"This double cd set is the second from the trio of Ivar Grydeland, Tonny Kluften and Ingar Zach. One cd is a brand new studio recording where they are joined by the wonderful Sidsel Endresen for a short and beautiful vocal performance. The second cd is...

"Ambitious, epic and grand in scale, the third album by Norway's piano trio In The Country could very well be their magnum opus. Most of the music was performed and written as a thank you, as is the tradition, after leader Morten Qvenild (Susanna and...

This is a 'jazz' power trio with - as an aside - the guitar and bass work held down by women who give lie to anyone who thinks that women can't rock as hard as anyone else. Man, I guess this is jazz, but it's the heaviest thing that can be called jazz...

I first heard Motorpsycho when shopping at the great Stockholm record store Mellotronen and an amazing album was playing over the system by them, which I promptly bought. The great thing about them is that they change their sound constantly, which...
