Rueslatten, Kari To The North

2015, Kari Rueslåtten's latest studio album, TO THE NORTH, is inspired by the dramatic landscapes of northern latitudes and will evoke imagery in listeners' minds akin to the dark, brooding visual scenes of film and TV's ´Nordic Noir` genre. TO THE NORTH is a follow up to last year's successful TIME TO TELL album, and this time Kari Rueslåtten has brought a darker-edged atmosphere to her acoustic, melancholic Norwegian folk. She has taken inspiration from Norwegian and Celtic folk music, along with artists such as Loreena McKennitt, Tom Waits and Emmylou Harris. TO THE NORTH is the Trondheim based singer's sixth studio release. On this album, Kari Rueslåtten has created a soundtrack of the North, which brings herself, and her listeners, back ´home`. All the tracks were recorded live, providing an organic element to the recording, which has produced a more vital sounding result.
