Langen Ro, by Geir Sundstøl

Langen Ro

by Geir Sundstøl

supported by

Carsten Pieper Thanks a lot to Neil Hobkirk for the hint!
Geir is a quite prolific Norwegian guitarist, who nevertheless escaped me completely until several of his albums appeared in my Bandcamp feed...
Instrumental music, somewhere between ambient rock (does that label exist? Think instrumental Daniel Lanois or maybe Marc Ribot, come to think of it...), folk, jazz and what not. Very cinematic and a great pleasure to listen to! Favorite track: Langen Ro.

about

Sundstøl´s second Guitarist and instrument collector Geir Sundstøl appeared on over 260 albums as a session player and sideman before he released his solo debut “Furulund” in 2015. After 27 years as a professional musician he finally took the big step, and was rewarded with glowing reviews and a Norwegian Grammy (Spellemannspris) nomination. Mojo described Sundstøl’s debut album as “a soothing series of languid guitar soundscapes that blend Cooderesque western warmth with a twilight Norwegian chill.” The British magazine HiFi+ highlighted “the great choice of sounds” and the Norwegian music writer Terje Mosnes referred to the “musicianship that doesn’t shout, but that wins the listener over through the subtle tonal diversity that gradually emerges, making each listen a new experience.” Now, a year later, Geir Sundstøl is following up his success with a new album that is even more fully realised. “Langen ro” offers a wide range of genre references and an original and distinctive sound. Sundstøl’s music has clearly cinematic features, while at the same time retaining a subdued and linear quality that is reminiscent of ambient. Sundstøl himself said that here he wanted to make an album of “underwater music”. Synthesizers play a more important role on “Langen ro”, and he even offers us an original (and synthesizer-free) take on Giorgio Moroder’s “Tony’s Theme” (from the Scarface OST). Sundstøl is still very much in demand as a musical collaborator regardless of genre, and this autumn he is touring extensively as a member of Nils Petter Molvær’s group.
