KRISTIN ASBJØRNSEN
HJEMVEIER
Release: 7th June 2024
(Kirkelig Kulturverksted)
Kristin Asbjørnsen is releasing her long awaited solo album Hjemveier
on 7 June. This is her first album on which she sings in her native
Norwegian language, and her first collaboration with the KKV label.
The enchanting songs circle around such emotions as breaking away
and belonging. They carry echoes of wonder and acknowledgement of
life’s experiences.
Kristin’s strong sense of melody and poetry weaves together rich guitar
sounds, piano, calabash and kora into shimmering soundscapes with
serene intensity and power. This is expressed through the unique
presence of Kristin’s voice.
The songs, given form through Kristin’s piano, carry impulses from
contemplative Nordic jazz, lullabies and West African Madinka.
Kristin Asbjørnsen has been one of the most original and critically-
praised artists in Norwegian music over the last 30 years. Her artistic
expression has received an overwhelming response through her
albums and many years of international touring.

WALKING WITH MY SHADOWS
Release: 20th September 2024
(flowfish.records/Broken Silence)
With “Walking with My Shadows,” the band MMJ presents an honest
and authentic collection of seven original compositions. Songs about
heartbreak and loneliness, but also about new beginnings and
friendship, form the underlying tone of the group on the new EP,
without losing their renowned 70s vintage sound: the healthy mix of
melancholy and rock 'n' roll is now more serious and darker; it has
matured.
“Walking with My Shadows” also processes the turbulent past years
marked by lineup changes, drug abuse, and a near-death experience.
The EP is therefore to be understood as a concept album, as a journey
from isolation and subsequent alcohol addiction to the desire to finally
find peace and inner tranquility through letting go.
