Svevestøv – Svarteper

Five well-travelled country boys.

This rural band puts on a merry, no-holds-barred ruckus, with an approving nod to old musical heroes, when they plow through the folksongs of Herman Kvelprud, a country boy from the wild west of Ål, Hallingdal. An eremite writing pseudopersonal songs from a colorful young life lived, either from the time as a country road bum or from his meeting with the turbulent life of the city. The lyrics are a two-way mirror where the observations makes the audience blush when he sings of Oslo, the many temptations of the cities night life and the juggling of ones own sexuality to capture the happiness in romance. The quiet truths of life are remorselessly served with spiritual subtexts and psychedelic overtones by a well-oiled band consisting of five well-travelled country boys with slight debris in the machinery.
