2nd release from the group LIV mixing world music, pop & rock feat. the world music star singer Mari Boine. Very catchy music.
LIV's second album HAGE is produced from a place of abundance and expansion, again combining the best of central European and the High North musical flairs and colors. As in Kemedu - LIV's first album (LOS 141-2 Losen Records 2015), also HAGE refuses to be labeled in any particular style or tradition, but insists - in each song on its own right to define and unfold its own innate logic and sense. Even so; traces of jazz, pop, ethno, punk, soul and not at least yoik, (delivered in the most delicate and wonderful way through the internationally acclaimed and renowned Sami artist Mari Boine's backing vocal on several tracks), are all present. Layered and fused together to a rich sound-template by the experienced producer Andreas Mjøs (known from a.o. Jaga Jazzizt), we hope the music also keeps moving its listeners into surprising landscapes as it has done with us.
The second release from the band LIV is taking them into a more commercial directon. The music hammers and knocks, but can also be sore and beautiful. Listen to the title track 'Hage' that is massively beautiful and is featuring Mari Boine with her Sami Yoik singing together with Liv Hanne Haugen. A track with a goosebump guaranty.
LIV is a French-Norwegian musical collaboration that started in 2013 when Thierry Girault (FR) and his family exchanged a busy and crowded European life for a year in Tromsø (NO) with fishing, walks in the mountains - and eventually musical exchange with the locals, Ãystein Blix and Liv Hanne Haugen. A little later Alain Kawczak (FR) joined and together they formed the band LIV, which forms a perfect container for them to eat, drink, laugh, create, talk, travel and channel it all into songs and concerts for a broad audience on intimate as well as larger stages. They have in total played more than 30 concerts in Norway, France, Italy and in Switzerland. And it doesn't stop here, we are all just at the beginning.
