Eltervaag solo live at 4Sound, Stavnger



Biografi (Scroll down for English version)
Bak artisten Eltervaag finner man Trond Eltervaag Hansen fra Stavanger, som driver til daglig utestedet/konsertscenen Martinique. Eltervaag har skrevet og fremført sin musikk både solo og i ulike bandkonstellasjoner i mange år. EP´en, som slippes på CCAP 17.september, er hans første utgivelse og mange i Stavanger kan nok med hånden på hjertet si: Det var på tide.
Sangene på EPen kan beskrives som melankolsk indiepop med mye kjærlighet og et snev av faenskap. Høyre foten godt plantet i singer/songwriter sjangeren, den andre i rock/british invation, mens noen tær godt kan leke med knotter og gitareffekter. I senter ligger kanskje det sterkeste instrumentet; Den lyse Tim Buckly aktige-vokalen med en vibrato og nerve som skaper fokus og følelser i lytteren som fort kan gå over til stemme med trøkk og frustrasjon.
Epen består av 5 sanger, spilt inn live i Øksnevad Studio (Frank Østebø), mikset av Ashley Stubbert (Pearl Jam, Kvelertak, Johnny Hancocks, Sebastian Waldejer ++) og mastret av Rick Fisher (Fleet Foxes, Damien Jurado, Pearl Jam, Cat Power ++). Med seg på innspillingen har han Margrethe Lunde (kor), Thorbjørn Bryne fra Stonefish Brigade (trommer), Kristoffer Riis fra Johnny Hancocks (leadgitar) Eirik Lye (bass), Ådne Sæverud (orgel) og Sebastian Waldejer (piano, synth, kor). De tre sistnevnte er fast inventar i backingbandet til Thomas Dybdahl, The Great October Sound.

ENGLISH
The man behind “Eltervaag” is Trond Eltervaag Hansen. In addition to writing, performing and producing music, he runs the Martinique pub/venue in his hometown Stavanger, Norway. The EP, released on CCAP September 14th, is his first (and long awaited) release.

Melancholic indie pop with a lot of love and a hint of the devil within, describes the songs on the EP. With one foot in the singer-songwriter genre, the other one in rock / British invasion, while his toes play around with knobs and effect pedals. In the centre of it all lays the most powerful instrument; his Tim Buckley resembling vocal, with vibrato and a nerve that gets your attention, stirs up your feelings, and can suddenly turn into a powerful voice with attitude and frustration.

The five tracks on the EP was recorded live at Øksnevad Studio by Frank Østebø (live sound engineer for Kvelertak), mixed by Ashely Stubbert (Pearl Jam, Kvelertak, Johnny Hancocks, Sebastian Waldejer ++) and mastered by Rick Fisher (Fleet Foxes, Damien Jurado, Pearl Jam, Cat Power ++). His backing band is Margrethe Lunde (backing vocals), Thorbjørn Bryne from Stonefish Brigade (drums), Kristoffer Riis from Johnny Hancocks (lead guitar), Eirik Lye (bass), Ådne Sæverud (organ) and Sebastian Waldejer (piano, synth, backing vocals). The latter three are part of Thomas Dybdahl´s backing band, The Great October Sound.

First single from the new album!

Look To The Sky is the first single from the album Time Is Gonna Change You (release November 2011) by Poor Edward. The single is produced by Ashley Stubbert. In addition to the digital release the single is also available as limitied edition vinyl 7" including b-side Power Of The Gospel (by Ben Harper) on Bandcamp. Poor Edward is a duo consisting of Martin and Kristian Tungland Rinde; two brothers from Stavanger, Norway. Writing and performing their own songs, Poor Edward can be classified as a mixture of pop and rock with notable folk tendencies. Their trademark is a guitar and vocals sound, largely focused on lyrics and harmony. The music is melodious, sometimes melancholy, often understated and always authentic.

Great minds think alike?

A few months ago Sebastian Waldjer released his brilliant new single «We Never Get Away Anymore». This week we stumbled upon a great new track by the US band Real Estate. These two tracks are amazingly similar. We doubt either of these artists have heard about each other before these tracks where released and that it is all a coincidence. It´s a small world after all?

Whats your opinion?
