ABOUT “AT WELDING BRIDGE” (Jazzland/Universal)
Beady Belle's fifth album At Welding Bridge was released September 2010. This album is a synthesis - or a welding - between the first three albums - on the one hand - and the fourth album - on the other. The first three albums had electronic and symphonic elements that were gone on the fourth. The first albums were carefully and totally produced while the fourth was more straightforward live recorded. And on the fourth album the country element came in. The fifth album has taken everything from both sides of the synthesis. Some electronic elements are there, and the symphonic elements are in the wind arrangements - horn and bass clarinet by Hild Sofie Tafjord and Lars Horntveth - which gives a mysterious, woody sound. It has been more important than ever to have musicians with strong musical signatures on this album. No compromises! And their unique way of playing is welded together in a new sound. Musicians on this album are: Geir Sundst�l (country guitars), Bj�rn Lier (rhythm guitars), David Wallumr�d (organ, wurlitzer, clavinet, piano etc), J�rn �ien (grand piano and piano) and Tommy Kristiansen (slide guitar on Runaway mind).
