Cover art by Per Spjøtvold.

We are very happy to finally do a CGR re-issue of Mattis Kleppen & Resjemheias debut album from 2013. This version has new and improved cover artwork by Per Spjøtvold.

As on their two follow up albums, Resjemheia play a mix of West African blues / folk music and Norwegian traditional music, fronted by fretless acoustic bass player Mattis Kleppen.

What differs the debut from the more recent albums is singer Ingrid Helene Håvik, she left the band in 2013 shortly after the original release of this album, to focus on Her band Highasakite.

Musicians: Mattis Kleppen – bass guitar and guitar

Kenneth Kapstad – drums

Ingrid Helene Håvik – vocals

Ottar Kåsa – hardanger fiddle

Kristoffer Lo – guitar, marching trombone, tuba and effects
