about

Phoenix consists of Emil Storløkken Åse, guitar and compositions, Jenny Frøysa, baritone sax, and August Glännerstrand, drums.
The music resembles a mix of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Per "Texas" Johanson and Maria Kannegaard trio, with hints of Julian Lage, ABBA, and Frank Zappa. In other words, Nordic electric rockjazz with clear inspirations from the 70s.
The band name is inspired by the Phoenix, a mythical animal that sets itself on fire and is then reborn from the ashes. Phoenix is also the capital of the state of Arizona, USA - a place with a lot of desert scenery. Hence the album title "Under The Sun".
The album has riff-based songs with fuzz guitar, but also calm, sonorous ballads with open improvised landscapes and lyrical melodic lines, where the band brings out the details and depth of their musical interplay. Overall, the album seems like the start of what will potentially become a dynamic and creative catalog of music.
