Bakkekontakt by Kjemilie
Kjemilie is ready with their second album "Bakkekontakt", an album that tears you embraces and spreads over you. "Bakkekontakt" follows in the footsteps of the debut "Hverdagene", and Kjemilie has a touch on the low-key expression, the songs are clearer and sharper, but keep it close and personal.
Kjemilie draws its line in the tension between jazz, songs and hymns, and has invited violinist Håkon Aase (Mathias Eick, Thomas Strønen, Duetrost) who, with his fresh and energetic playing, pulls and stretches in the songs. The lyrics deal with feeling rootless and trapped, looking for something that secures one to live, that sets one free and to know that one is growing and can hold something bigger.
"This is duo jazz so skinless and near as well imaginable - beautiful and strong" - Tor Hammerø
