Hedvig Mollestad Trio release debut album on Rune Grammofon, collide genres in ways that scare toddlers

Hey, you got JAZZ in my PROG ROCK! No, you got PROG ROCK in my JAZZ!

Simmer down, kids — the Hedvig Mollestad Trio made a conscious choice to get their genres all mixed up and have put out an album for you all to enjoy. Shoot! was released September 23 on Rune Grammofon and is available on CD or as an LP (with free accompanying download).

The Norwegian trio is fronted by Hedvig on electric guitar and features Ellen Brekken on bass (both stand up and electric) and Ivar Loe Bjørnstad on drums. The three recorded the album live, and it shows — you can actually hear the tropical sounds of Norway (parrots, howler monkeys, jaunty beach-goers) in the background. It’s like being whisked away to a warm place where jazz and prog rock just make sense together.

Shoot! tracklisting:

01. Gun and the E-Kid
02. Ashes
03. For the Air
04. Doom’s Lair
05. The Dead One
06. Sidetracked
07. No Encore
08. Blood Witch
09. The Valley
