After appearing on more than 400 albums as a sideman and session player, multifaceted guitarist and instrument collector Geir Sundstol gave us a trilogy of his, long awaited, own compositions. Now he is back, with a follow-up to Norwegian Grammy-/Spellemannpris- winning album Brodlos. St.Hanshaugen Steel offers an extraordinarily wide range of genre references, and takes us further into Sundstol's original and distinctive soundscapes. With clear cinematic features, Sundstol displays an ever impressing variety of instruments, sliding from the deep and rough bass harmonica to the sharp, circus-like marxophone. In between, multiple layers of glimmering steel. guest appearances by the angelic Solvguttene boys' choir bring utter goose bumps, while other parts of St.Hanshaugen Steel might induce the darker chills of Nordic Noir.
