“At once modern and sepia-toned, Maridalen is an immersive low-end dreamworld that distils distant Nordic jazz variants into a singular vision…. a powerful sedative, washing blues away.”
★★★★ Jazz Album Of The Month MOJO
“It sounds delicate and beautiful, and it comes from a place with depth in it. A place reserved for music.” Aftenposten (NO) 5/6
“…just the kind of happiness pill we need right now.” Ruben Gran, NRK P3 (NO)
“Something as good as this does not come along every day. Make your day with Maridalen. You won’t regret it. Not for a moment.” Steven Graham, Marlbank (UK) 5/6
“A noble threesome, they make good things happen slowly with a style that nods to finely sculpted film scores, high on atmosphere and low on theatrics.”
Gareth Thompson, Allaboutjazz
