Geir Sundstøl releases final single before album – the mysterious "Broder" is out now!

LISTEN HERE

Geir Sundstøl has had an impressive and diverse career, with his musical contributions in the HUBRO universe standing strong for years. With his new album, Sakte Film, he once again takes listeners on a unique journey—this time with even greater depth and layers of strings that expand the sonic landscape and add a deeper dimension. Geir Sundstøl explains:

 - What sets this album apart from my previous ones is, first and foremost, the string arrangements. Erik Sollid, Sunniva Shaw, Håkon Brunborg, and Mari Persen have contributed with violin, viola, and cello. They have added a new dimension—more heart and pain. That’s ultimately what it’s all about for me. To move people with music. To soothe and shake.

The music on Sakte Film flows effortlessly between genres, making it difficult to categorize. Elements of folk music and jazz intertwine in a soundscape that shifts from fluid and dreamy to powerful and intense. Geir says:

- It struck me that categorizing this music is tricky—if not downright impossible. If that’s the case, then I’ve achieved what I wanted.

The final single before the album release is "Broder"  —an atmospheric and mysterious track where Sundstøl plays all the instruments himself. Geir explains:

- I play everything here: pedal steel, Minimoog, Juno-6, Casio organ, timpani, harmonica, food processor, garage, and tubular bells. It sounds a bit like Tangerine Dream with a nod to the harmonica in "Flåklypa" (nostalgic and whimsical soundtrack from a famous Norwegian childrens movie). This melody was originally created for a podcast in 2018.

The album Sakte Film was recorded in Geir’s own Studio Intim and will be released on LP, CD, and digitally on Hubro on May 23, 2025.
