Review Text
We are proud to present our third album Last Things.The essence of this recording was trying to capture Siril Malmedal Hauges beautiful voice and Jacob Youngs guitar-playing. All done in an elegant, often understated way - in a constant conversation.If you like Melody Gardot, Eva Cassidy, Ella Fitzgerald or Chet Baker - chances are you will dig this too!The production of the album is sober and transparent and really shows the strength of Sirils phrasing and delivery of inter-textual meaning - or storytelling. The album consists of 10 songs penned by both legendary and contemporaries composers like Lennon - McCartney 'I Will', 'Lilac Wine' James Shelton, 'Skylark' Hoagy Charmichael and fellow Norwegian composer Bendik Hofseth on a rendition of his beautiful song 'Deep River'. The title song 'Last Things' along with the opener 'Bounce With Me' was composed by guitarist Jacob Young.This is the third album from the local Oslo label, Oslo Session Recordings - once again they present us with something different - a jazzalbum that even pop music lovers will accept and can embrace
