Karijord,rebekka - We Become Ourselves - Music CD

Norwegian singer and composer Rebekka Karijord's We Become Ourselves is arguably the finest work of her career to date. Recorded with Tobias Frberg at Stockholm's Gig Studio, the arrangements are genuinely exceptional, filled with organs, boys' and men's choirs, piano, guitar, drums, and Karijord's fierce, striking vocal delivery. "I wanted to make a love album first, circling around my relationship to men," she explains. "I wanted it to be a romantic, huge, physical, and powerful record, yet stripped and raw, with it's flaws on it's sleeve. I wanted to make an album about 'life and death': heartfelt and serious." It's initial framework was constructed with only a drummer and guitarist, ensuring that - beneath these imposing arrangements - the songs remain simple.
