ODD NORDSTOGA – INN I SKOGEN (2022)
Those who expect from the title a record about soundness, bark and birch wood will probably be disappointed. But, yes, there has been a lot of forest in the last couple of years. One thing is that I have made music for the NRK series Fotobonden. Another thing is the takeover of a small farm in Trysilskogen. It is quite far into the forest, with miles of spruce and pine on all sides. A landscape with expression, one might say, heavier and wider than the light cols up towards the mountain in Vinje. At some point I found out that I could try to use all this forest for something. Something other than just chopping wood and picking molts, or finding a theme that fits when Fotobonden tries to get a picture of an eagle. Use it as a starting point to write songs from. I have done that on this album. This is what Odd says about his latest album, which we can already call a classic. Odd says that this has become a band record, and what a band: With Torstein Lofthus (drums), Tor Egil Kreken (bass), David Wallumrød (piano), Alexander Pettersen (guitar) and Håkon Aase (fiddle). On "Godt nok" he has Sigrid Aase from Hajk as a duet partner.
