about

Still high on the success of his 2017 Spellemann award-winning (Norwegian Grammy) album The Last Great Country Swindle, Bendik Brænne is already preparing the release of his fourth album – his saddest to date. He strips the music down while channeling his inner Burt Bacharach and Dennis Wilson.

Not only does he take it down, this time he has done it all by himself. What you hear is Bendik, all alone at home in his living room and on the lead single, “The Most Beautiful Tune”, he plays no less that flute, bass harmonica, bass guitar, guitar, piano and Fender 6. A close listen to the album will reveal the sound of squeaky floorboards, church bells outside the window and sounds of the city, sorrow, heartbreak and most importantly, loads of instruments.

In fact there’s only four people overall, involved in this project: Brænne plays all instruments and sings all the vocals, Bård Ingebrigtsen has done the mixing, George Tanderø mastered it and Ingrid Aarvik Berge assembled the album cover from one of Bendiks own horse paintings.

Yes, that’s correct – horse paintings. Not too long ago, Brænne decided to pick up painting, as painting and Lego building were important grief management activities for him around the release of his previous album, because of the loss of central love ones in his life. Which basically is what the new album lyrically revolves around.
