Det du aldri sa is the title of Tom Roger Aadland’s new release. The man behind the critically acclaimed album Blod på spora (Dylan translated into Norwegian) has written some new songs with strong lyrics and haunting melodies and recorded them with an interesting mixture of musicians. Die-hard indie rockers, eclectic roots aficionados and seasoned session players found common ground in the songs and stories of the album.

Det du aldri sa was recorded live in studio with an expanded version of the crew behind the Blod på spora album. The musicians were all gathered for the first time the day the recordings started, focusing on the content of the songs rather than on technical perfectionism.

Those who appreciated Tom Roger’s previous albums Blod på spora and Obviously Embraced, will find much to enjoy on Det du aldri sa. One of the first people to listen to the finished version of the new album sums it up, “Rarely have I heard so many simply beautiful songs on one and the same CD”. Started in South Africa, finished in the city of Oslo and in the countryside of Norway, this is an album that crosses many borders.
