On Langeleik, two pioneers of alternative pedal steel meet across oceans, time, and temperaments. Norwegian multi-instrumentalist Geir Sundstøl and London-based pedal-steel player Joe Harvey-Whyte merge the instrument’s ghostly resonance with field recordings, ambient drones and vintage synths to create a sound that feels as fluid and alive as the rivers that inspired it.

[ June the 13th, 2025 via Heilo Records Hekate – Evigheten Forestår ]
release date: 13.06.2025 on Hubro Records
In the night and darkness, Hekate reigns. Hekate (Hecate) was the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy. Composed of three bodies, each with their own distinct powers, she guards the moon, crossroads, and holds the key to the portal between worlds. Therefore, made up of the three female voices, the young Norwegian Trio addresses their art to the right patron from the beginning.
The vocal trio HEKATE—Malin Alander, Silje Risdal Liahagen, and Synnøve Brøndbo Plassen—opens the door to a new musical realm where ancient power meets modern club energy.
