Kabaret Makaber - Kabaret Makaber - CD

This album  merges 30s swing jazz with German cabaret, expressed with “punkish” intensity as well as hurtful tenderness. The songs are presented by the very skilled musicians consisting of marimba, alto saxophone, baritone saxophone, upright bass, drums and vocals.

The Norwegian lyrics explore the loneliness of the Nordic wild, expressed in music about sitting in driverless buses destined to somewhere unkown, a trip into dark anxiety. Or finding the comfort of an unkown stranger with snakeskin shoes. A meeting, unsettling as well as soothing, especially since this man surely is your very own devil. And in the frenzy of trying to mend the solitude with laughter and dancing, hilarity easily shifts into cryful shouts.

Recorded in Duper Studios in Bergen in the Summer of 2015, produced by Even Kruse Skatrud and Iver Sandøy.
