Reolo

Um flytjanda

Reolô is a quartet consisting of Anders Røine, Hans P. Kjorstad, Rasmus Kjorstad and Hans Hulbækmo, all playful multi-instrumentalists based in Norwegian folk music and the somewhat vague term ”open class”. They released the album ”Andre sida” in late autumn 2019 (ta:lik) and their sophomore album will be released by Sheep Chase Records March 21st, 2025 - recorded at Juke Joint Studio in Notodden and mixed by Mattias Glavå (Dungen, Elephant9, Håkan Hellström). Musically, the band moves from Norwegian folk music, via rock grooves with inspiration from both West Africa and America to pure bursts of energy. Or as a review in Klassekampen stated: ”as if the Velvet Underground had secretly been rehearsing for years in a stabbur”. With lyrics about prepping, a flock of sheep at full speed towards the precipice and the likes, the band tries to say something about modern society, while the focus on groove, close interplay and old-fashioned tonality gives the music a slightly timeless touch. Personnel: Anders Røine - vocals, guitar, langeleik, mouth harp; Hans P. Kjorstad - fiddle, synth, vocals; Rasmus Kjorstad - fiddle, octave fiddle, langeleik, vocals; Hans Hulbækmo - drums, percussion, synth, mouth harp, vocals
