*2023 stock* "Trond has been compared with guitar calibers such as Bill Frisell and Ry Cooder among a number of reviewers. "Bedehus & Hawaii" locates Trond Kallevåg at the right height on the heels of Ry Cooder and Bill Frisell. " - Jazzaroundmag.
On "Fengselsfugl" (prisonbird in english) Trond takes the listener into musical landscape inspired by his job as music teacher in Oslo Prison. Isolation, hope, darkness and the ballads inside the prisons in the 18th century are some key words that describe the music. Geir Sundstøl stands for beautiful vibes with his sublime steel guitar playing that perfectly matches Kallevåg's obvious affection for atmospheric film music, gentle prayer house music and Polynesian exotica. The combination of his warm Fender guitar sound and his lyrical compositions gives the listener a cinematic feel.
