Primary Instrument: Vocal
Susanna Wallumröd is well known for her two critical acclaimed albums as well as a string of great concerts with Susanna and the Magical Orchestra. Her beautiful voice has proven to interpret both her own and others songs in a remarkebly fair and astonishing way. Her first solo album is a rare and personal album containing 12 self written songs. The music is ilimitable and takes on a life of its own.
A true talent in the vein of Chan Marshall and Mira Billotte, she sings like a Norwegian mountain stream. Pitchforkmedia (US)
Her voice is extraordinary, effortlessly wedding mountain-stream purity to a deep soulfulness. Mojo (UK)
Wallumrød’s voice takes your breath away. The Observer (UK)
A dolorous delight. Uncut (UK)
Wallumrød acts like it matters a lot, in the same way that Nina Simone would take just about anything in the ‘60s and ‘70s and reinterpret it as the most harrowingly personal tune ever. Cokemachineglow (US)
