Out of the Woods

Kerstin Blodig's Debut Album For Stockfisch Records On 2-Channel SACD! The Norwegian singer/songwriter/guitarist Kerstin Blodig presents her debut album on Stockfisch. The recordings took place in Solling - in a clearing in one of Germany's largest forest areas. The rich natural atmosphere - including birdsong and sounds from the vegetation - fits wonderfully to Kerstin's haunting Norwegian folk ballads, her crystal clear expressive mezzo-soprano and her modern virtuoso guitar playing. "Out of The Woods' is a collection of favorite songs about the loveliest season of all, springtime - featuring a re-recorded repertoire from formerly released albums as well as brand-new material - including three spontaneous improvisations, where the musicians sat around the microphones and just started to play. Opulently modern, minimalistic folksy, bizarre and beautiful, passionate and pure, melancholic and dreamy, soulful and sad, tongue-in-cheek and humorous, Kerstin Blodig takes us on a musical journey from Norway across the North Sea to Scotland and back home again to the land of the trolls, elf kings and wood nymphs, of breath-taking landscapes and mysterious myths.
