Hanne Hukkelberg - Blood From a Stone

Third album by acclaimed Norwegian artist Hanne Hukkelberg    

In part inspired by her teenage past as a member of various rock bands and in part by her 80’s dominated collection of indie/rock albums, the likes of Sonic Youth, Cocteau Twins, Pixies, Einstüerzende Neubauten, Siouxsie & The Banshees and P.J. Harvey have all exerted an influence over Hanne’s new songs, which continue her penchant for combining traditional and unusual instrumentation to form a soundscape unique to her.

For a self-confessed ‘rock’ album, Blood From A Stone still manages to include field recordings of seagulls, clogs, kitchen utensils, freezers, stoves and a school desk. Although recorded in Hanne’s Oslo studio, the songs were written during a 7 month spell living in a tiny coastal village on the Norwegian island of Senja, 300 kilometres north of the Polar Circle.

A European tour will follow the release of ‘Blood From A Stone’.
