Another great album to tell you about. Hanne Hukkelberg it doesn't immediately grab you on the first couple of tracks but, honestly, bear with it its amazing. Hanne has a lovely mellifluous voice that drips like treacle across the beautifully crafted tunes. She's from Norway. That figures. Think somewhere between Psapp, Bjork, Jaga Jazzist (in the beautifully fiddly folky music). On Leaf. Hurrah!!Tracklisting:

Norwegian singer Hanne Hukkelberg’s 2005 debut album ‘Little Things’ was a charming impression of life in Oslo, notable for its imaginative use of found sounds and eclectic array of instrumentation. Her elfin but idiosyncratic persona coupled with a lazily seductive voice drew comparisons with everyone from Joanna Newsom and Björk, to Stina Nordenstam and Billie Holiday. Originally released on the Leaf label, it has been unavailable for a year but is now reissued by Nettwerk following their 2007 release of Hukkelberg’s acclaimed second album ‘Rykestrasse 68’ and a series of European tour dates to support it. “Little Things demands to be heard and cherished for its audacious beauty. 5/5” SUNDAY TIMES“Enchanting… equal parts Nordenstam and Nina Simone. Fans of CocoRosie take note. 4/5” UNCUT“Very clever and very pretty - moments of real loveliness" THE WORD
