Reviews for the new album are coming in, as of yet most are in Norwegian. For the benifit of our foreign friends, I will post reviews translated to English in the blog.
A great review from VG:

Dark, powerful, rhythmic and bold!
The trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær has with "ER" created a monster hybrid of an album, which brings the listener along on a dark, rhythmic and bold journey to a musical crossroad where few dare to travel.

Nils Petter Molvær has of course clearly listened to Miles Davis and Jon Hassel, both of whom dared to explore the trumpet's possibilities in ways previously unheard of.

Like them, Molvær is concerned with timbre and moods when he creates modern improvisational music, with elements of jazz, rock, electronica and funk.

The result is urban World Music. The sound is powerful, rough, dark and bold. In the centre, you will always find Molværs trumpet. Some times in the shape of angry, blue daggers. Other times, as a hazy layer of vibrating air.

Other times, like for example on "Softer", it moves extremely slowly. Here you will also find gripping dark and rugged ballads like "Water" and "Only these things count," where Sidsel Endresen's voice will send a shiver down your spine.

But Molvær and his impressive ensemble also go in the direction of claustrophobic, noisy and dirty dance music that pulsates through your body.

Nils Petter Molvær's music is advanced popular music, but it's never too strange or impenetrable, just different and exciting.

The best Norwegian album this year? Without a doubt!
