  • Bio

    .. NEW RELEASE - double disc "eco, arches & eras" now out on ....Rune Grammofon.... .. .. Special guests appearing "eco, arches & eras". ..Norwegian singer Sidsel Endresen, guitarist Nels Cline and drummer Glenn Kotche are special guests in Huntsville on this release. .. .. REVIEWS .. .. «Elegant improvised ambience.» Uncut (UK) .. .. «...they alternate between brief Americana-esque instrumentals and lenghtier excursions into fast, fluid motion, attaining trance-velocity like some rare amalgam of Miles Davies, Steve Reich and early Tortoise.» ROCK-A-ROLLA (UK) .. .. «Eco, Arches & Eras represents a quantum leap for Huntsville, a group that keeps creating new promises as quickly as it delivers on its previous ones.» All About Jazz (US) .. .. «...Huntsville creates a beautiful mosaic of sound, combining kaleidoscopic grooves with the nuanced interaction and unstructured freedom of abstract improvisation.» Chicago Reader (US) .. .. MOJO (UK) «...an hypnotic trip through percussive ragas, electro-acoustic scree and Morricone-like dreamscapes.» .. .. Album of the Month «I could write on and on about this truly wonderful album - but I think it would ruin and cheapen the experience of it for yourself. Just trust me if you enjoy musical adventure & genre mixing that’s controlled/polished yet always daring and creative you have to pick this up. One of the must own albums of this year.» Musique Machine (UK) .. .. «There's rarely been such effective use of the South Asian drums in a crossover context since John McLaughlin's Shakti – though 'crossover' is too limiting a description for this substantial and challenging release.» The WIRE (UK) .. .. «...this is beautifully unpretentious and feels so naturally right. This is from nowhere, this is from everywhere... this is wonderful, this is different....» Organ Magazine (UK) .. .. «...it builds like a runaway train of thoughts and possibillities before breaking through barriers into a world of new and rapturous potential.» plan b (UK) .. .. «Surprising, impressing, blood-curdling, intriguing, impossible to describe, impossible to define, adventurous, are only a few terms that apply to this great successor.» Subjectivisten (DE) .. .. «...theirs is a sound that is truly unique.» Experimusic.com (UK) .. .. «As probably the best thing I’ve heard so far this year on Rune Grammofon, Eco Eras and Arches will undoubtedly meet your great expectations. Big fun to be had here.» mapsadaisical .. .. «“Eco, Arches & Eras” delves even further into an adventurous crossbreed between Drones, Country, Jazz and electroacoustic Improvisation.» Tokafi (UK) .. .. «...lyden av grus, gress, muld, natur som kneler, bygninger som reises og reiser som tilbakelegges, men uten å bli naturpornografisk på noe vis. Til det er heldigvis gruppas uforutsigbarhet og tverrhet for framtredende. Hele albumet byr for øvrig på en drivende blanding av krautrock, frijazz og køntri, og gjennom sjangerlekenheten beviser Huntsville at de vil være musikalsk bærekraftige i lang tid framover.» Dagsavisen 23.09.08. .. .. read more reviews ....here.... .. .. MORE ABOUT HUNTSVILLE «(...) As strong, if not stronger, in performance as on record, Huntsville hopefully has a new disc in the works representative of the trio's uniqueness.» All About Jazz .. .. «(...)beguilingly simple and organic (...) anotherwordly abstract Americana.» Down Beat .. .. «(...)armed with a banjo, a double bass, a pedal steel, a bizarre tabla machine, shruti boxes and a fondness for freeing folk from its folk songs—from Santa Fe to Bombay.» Boston Weekly .. .. - Huntsville is the all-Norwegian trio of Ivar Grydeland, Tonny Kluften and Ingar Zach.(...) The group's multi-instrumentalism means that this is no conventional guitar-bass-drums trio. (...) What is remarkable, though, is how much further Huntsville have been able to develop their striking and original soundworld - a genuinely musical use of unexpected sounds and textures, allied with echoes of traditional genres in a radical new conceptual language. Those who associate these players with Improv are in for a pleasant surprise. Andy Hamilton, March 2006. .. .. .. .. .. .. Order Huntsville music at great prices directly from our label: .. ....
