Jehovas vinter LP, 2019
Hornorkesterets first studio album offers unique and intriguing instrumental avant-folk from Norway performed on stringed and bowed reindeer antlers and percussion. Active since 1999, for this album, Hornorkesteret have toned down their free-form improv and texture explorations and honed in on a primitive groove on original tunes written by the group. Every tone is played on our custom-constructed and amped up reindeer
antlers accompanied by percussion like timpani, roto toms, bells, logs and rocks. The album is
released on 140g black vinyl and 180g limited white vinyl and distributed by Diger distro in
Norway and digitally.
«It sounds like the music of some strange, lost civilization:”
Samuel Andreyev, composer and musicologist
«…very strange, very disturbing, and very cool.»

«Arctic hunger and depression has mutated into a moss-grown, heathen ur-funk»
Lasse Marhaug
«Maybe there is a touch of gothic to it, a folk noir element, but none of that was much in perhaps in
the way of the end result. A most unlikely record to be liked by me, and yet I do like it very much.“
