Einar Solberg: guarda il video di ‘Within My Fence’
Comunicato stampa:
EINAR SOLBERG, frontman dei norvegesi Leprous, ha pubblicato il suo album di debutto “16” all’inizio di quest’anno. Ma all’inizio del 2022 ha intrapreso un’attività solista completamente diversa. Per una speciale performance in live streaming, ha reinterpretato l’album dei Leprous “The Congregation” con pianoforte e voce. Ora la performance vedrà la luce come “The Congregation Acoustic”, il 16 febbraio 2024 su Inside Out Music.
Disponibile il video del secondo singolo estratto “Within My Fence”:
Il commento dell’artista:
“Se c’è una canzone del nostro catalogo che non avrei mai scommesso di poter riportare in versione acustica quella è proprio ‘Within My Fence’. Nulla di quella canzone mi dava l’idea di poter funzionare in acustico. Con mia grande sorpresa ho dato alla canzone un’atmosfera completamente diversa e forse anche un po’ più profonda.”
Disponibile anche il precedente singolo “The Flood”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
“The Congregation Acoustic” sarà pubblicato nei formati Ltd CD Digipak, Limited Gatefold 180g Black 2LP e in digitale. La copertina è stata realizzata da Elena Sihida. Disponibile il preorder:: https://einarsolberg-artist.
Einar Solberg is as renowned for the tender honesty of his lyrics as he is for the eccentric majesty of Leprous’ music. But even by his usual standards, “16” is an extremely emotional and dynamic piece of work. Einar describes the record as “the closest I’ve ever come to writing a concept album” and explains that the new songs are about a very specific and transformational period in the musician’s life. This is the sound of a restless spirit in his absolute element.
“16” finds Einar collaborating with everyone from modern prog contemporaries like Bent Knee’s Ben Levin and Agent Fresco’s Toti Gudnason, to experimental cellist (and regular Leprous live musician) Raphael Weinroth-Browne and Magnus Børmark, best known as a member of Norwegian alt-folk troupe Gåte. He also once again collaborates with Ihsahn and Star Of Ash amongst many others. The record was mixed by mixed by Adam Noble (Placebo, Biffy Clyro, Nothing But Thieves) and mastered by Robin Schmidt (The 1975, Placebo, The Gaslight Anthem, etc.). The cover artwork was designed by Elena Sihida. ‘16’ is out on Ltd CD Digipak, Gatefold 180g 2LP + LP-booklet & Digitally. Order here: https://einarsolberg-artist.
