Translation of the review published in Aftenposten

The trumpeter from the calm and organic side.

Eight years have passed since "Khmer" was released, the album that surprised most people with it's melodic, techno-inspired jazz. "Khmer" still stands as a pillar in Norwegian music, without Molvær having managed to follow up his beautiful and ground breaking mix on record.

My opinion is that "Er" is the attempt that gets the closest, as the record has a lot of the same organic taste and calm. Electronica is still a central backdrop, but isn't forcing it's way through in a hectic and cold manner.

Instead, Molvær's more muted, and at times rather melancholy, and trusts the moods that build. With beautiful song titles like "Softer," "Water," "Darker," "Sober," and "Feeder," there is a sense that the expression varies between relaxed and energetic, without disrupting the total impression.

A bonus is the vocal work of Sidsel Endresen, which is especially challenging in "Water." "Er" is not a new turning point within Norwegian popular jazz, but it's Molvær from the delightful side.
