What do you get when musicians from <a href="spotify:artist:5awQWdBpLqN2KFVRN8w56T" data-name="Highasakite">Highasakite</a>, Norwegian Grammy winners <a href="spotify:artist:3dA71XkDTYT1ON3261t2su" data-name="The Switch">The Switch</a> and the vivid Norwegian jazz scene unshackle themselves completely? The answer is <a href="spotify:artist:2uXRuQaAqWE8tO3K0LbeP4" data-name="Husmo HAV">Husmo HAV</a>.
Meaning "ocean" in Norwegian, HAV is a musical ecosystem led by Thomas Husmo Litleskare.
The band’s ear-catching cinematic music has been likened to both <a href="spotify:artist:68HFSFMCZzyRjkkm9bv5Vt" data-name="Jaga Jazzist">Jaga Jazzist</a> and the Blade Runner soundtrack, so it seems only right they’ve labeled their music post-apocalyptic jazz – which might be the perfect musical backdrop for leaving 2020 behind.
With WAVES, the band returns with a splash. While their debut album was an exploration of melodic dark matter and magmatic soundscapes, WAVES has a brighter vibe throughout, projecting inspired energy with equal parts nostalgic longing and careful futuristic optimism. Driving bass grooves, icy synths and atmospheric trumpet screams combine to make this album their most expressive yet.
Husmo HAV received rave reviews internationally for their debut RIPPLES on <a href="spotify:playlist:42KifsZdbyaxDoPkOgFlKb" data-name="Øra Fonogram ">Øra Fonogram </a> in 2019. The record was Bandcamp's Album of the day soon after release, and Dagens Næringsliv described the music as “sinister and delicate moods that get your imagination going”.
WAVES is released on <a href="spotify:playlist:5obpeIO7aB2192mFW8DSPt" data-name="DUGNAD rec">DUGNAD rec</a>, a label founded by Thomas' longtime friend and colleague, <a href="spotify:artist:1LdI3wdD3YgxQnTTVbqR9A" data-name="Kjetil Jerve">Kjetil Jerve</a>.
Whether you’ll enjoy it digitally, on CD, or through the limited pink vinyl release, WAVES will submerge you in Husmo HAV’s alluring waters.
