The combination of the trio POING and vocalist Maja S. K. Ratkje has been referred to as among the best, boldest and most innovative players in the Norwegian music community. On their new album, \u201cKapital & Moral\u201d, they present a selection of songs from the past century that address the theme of the impact that capital has on each and every one of us. Together they explore the frame of mind expressed in John Lennon\u2019s \u201cWorking Class Hero\u201d, the compassion towards children seeking asylum in \u00c5ge Aleksandersen\u2019s eternally topical \u201cFremmed fugl\u201d and Rudolf Nilsen\u2019s description of children sewing clothes for Western consumers in \u201cEn vise om Kinabarna\u201d. A total of 12 songs have been approached from a new angle, and this has been accomplished with ease, a sense of humour, a surfeit of energy, seriousness, power and ingenuity. The members of POING are Rolf-Erik Nystr\u00f8m on saxophone, Frode Haltli on accordion and H\u00e5kon Theling on double bass. On this release both they and vocalist Maja S. K. Ratkje play a variety of instruments. The album was recorded at Propeller Studio in Oslo, and was produced by K\u00e5re Chr. Vestrheim.<\/p>\n

According to the newspaper Aftenposten, their previous release, \u201cWach Auf\u201d (\u00d8ra Fonogram, 2011), \u201creinstates the element of surprise in the cabaret tradition and expands the content of meaning in the concept of revolutionary music\u201d. For several years the group have presented an annual concert in Oslo the evening before 1 May. They have toured extensively since their previous album was released, performing at a number of Norwegian festivals as well as in France, Belgium and the USA, often together with local choirs.
