Golden - Maria Norseth Garli // to be released 22nd of May

On her debut album Golden, experimental singer-songwriter Maria Norseth Garli works with simplicity, slowness and time as the most important tools. Her background as an improvisation musician and voice artist is evident in this collection of melancholic songs. The cruelty and nudity of the voice and the lyrics are at the center and show the way for the seemingly ever-repeating music.

Maria Norseth Garli - tekst og musikk, stemme, gitar, kassettspiller og crackle box
Tor Haugerud - trommer | Lars Ove Fossheim - gitar og stemme / Kyrre Laastad - synth og gitar / Eira Bjørnstad Foss - fiolin / Viktor Wilhelmsen - gitar og stemme / Jo Ranheim - gitar

Production​:
All music and lyrics by Maria Norseth Garli
Produced by Kyrre Laastad
Recorded and mixed in Øra studio, January - February 2020 by Kyrre Laastad
Mastered by Karl Klaseie in Øra Mastering
