Wizard of Strings Geir Sundstol is back with his fourth solo album, St.Hanshaugen Steel. The title is an homage to the long gone steel factory located on his own stomping ground, and also a reference to Sundstol’s reputable broad spectrum-treatment of the pedal steel guitar.<> Initially, the trumpeter was asked to play on the outro of Vag, but he < St.Hanshaugen Steel offers a springboard to a dreamlike venture through soundscapes of "unusual" instruments, angelic guest-appereances, fairground attractions and 60's sci-fi. It takes us deeper into the sonic textures with each incremental play. Sundstol's sound is cinematic, but genreless, experimental and at the same time refreshingly open to any listener. The organic subtlety is now mixed with a new palette of synthetic paint. Like Sundstol's earlier Hubro solo-releases, St.Hanshaugen Steel is mixed by Bard Ingebrigtsen and mastered by Helge Sten. Once again, Sundstol is calling upon some of his favourite musical brothers in arms; drummer and percussionist Erland Dahlen, bass players Mats Eilertsen and Jo Berger Myhre, and pianist/keyboardist David Wallumrod. St.Hanshaugen Steel also brings forth the beloved boys' choir Solvguttene, and the lyrical Arve Henriksen on the opening track "Vag".
