Description

Don’t Feed the Sun is a trio that has emerged from the thriving jazz community in Trondheim. The trio consists of Anna Ueland on synth, vocals, and fiddle; Hermann Hestbek on tuba, OP-1, and electronics; and Selma Edwards Granly on cello, electronics, bass drum, and vocals. They make their debut with the EP Farewell, Sun, which was created by inviting producer Elling Svee to join them for a week in a traditional Scandinavian cabin in picturesque Fosen. The self-composed music also includes improvised passages and is clearly inspired by the stunning surrounding nature. With references to folk music, Nordic jazz, electronica, and the singer-songwriter tradition, the trio aims to depict nature and music in beautiful harmony. The subtle lyrics explore themes of closeness, optimism, love, longing and self-awareness. Written both collaboratively and individually, the lyrics echo the contrasts between the direct and the abstract.
