Check out these cool blogs pointing to Tomas Raae and the colaboration with the amazing Eline Hellerud Åsbakk:
‘…The stunning vocals of Eline Hellerud Åsbakk to ring pure and true from the shadows, piercing the gloom with with a voice honed over the years by her love for northern folk, hymns and jazz improvisation. It really is a stunning rendition of this centuries old song and a wonderful counterpoint to Raae’s playing.’ (The Slow Music Movement)
‘Direkt positiv aufgefallen ist uns die gefühlvolle Stimme, die sich zart und fast schon schleierhaft über das gedämpfte Instrumental legt….eine mystische und leicht dunkel angehauchte Stimmung, die dem Werk einen originellen, surrealen Charakter verleiht.’ (Berlin On Air)

‘Jeg Glemmer Dig Aldrig is a meditation in sound. Not only does it have deep meditative connotations, but somehow the breath like pattern seems to physically alter the atmosphere´ (Audiokaradi Press )

‘There is this raw, emotive quality woven in, like a loose thread on a worn tapestry. The Danish, though I can’t grasp the words, seems to carry extra weight, somehow. I think about old Viking ships and stories sung around crackling fires, echoes of time itself seeping into the melody. Where did the teapot I’d had before break and go anyway?’
