Vidde

Description

Atlanter is Jens Carelius’ and Arild Hammer?’s new band project. They play rock inspired by desert blues bands, by German krautrock and by old delta blues. All this is done with a Norwegian twist and point of view, and is perhaps best described as Norwegian viddeblues. Their debut album Vidde consists of 9 powerful, groove-based songs, all written by the band and produced by ?yvind R?srud Gundersen (Siri Nilsen, Jens Carelius, Hanne Kolst?). “Atlanter has an open-minded approach to playing music. The songs change from one concert to another, and we try to avoid a polished and rehearsed sound. I think everyone in the band enjoys this openness, that something new can happen on every song. We captured this feeling on the record too, and what brings it all together is that it is mostly based on very distinct rhythms. Playing with Atlanter is like dancing around a fire, there is an intense energy there. Our goal is for the audience to feel this energy too, so they can join in on the dance.”
