Erland Dahlen - Racoons '2023

Tracks list

Racoons is the fifth solo album from drummer extraordinaire Erland Dahlen. He
has played on more than 300 albums with a various range of artists in different
genres and he plays regularly with bands and artists like Nils Petter Molvær
group, Stian Westerhus, Geir Sundstøl, Madrugada and Eivind Aarset to name a
few. The new album was recorded in Oslo in March 2023, and will be his first on
Is It Jazz? Records. The album was recorded in Rainbow Studio with Bjarte
Stensli, with additional recording and mix with Jens Petter Nilsen and Hallvard
W. Hagen from Xploding Plastix. Dahlen plays a lot of custom-made instruments
here - Lars Hurlen has built different log drums for this album, and Harald
Hougaard has built a custom-made zither bass. Dahlen also uses custom-made
chromatic blossom bells and different metal stuff like huge serving plates.
Erland Dahlen’s solo project came from the fact that he’s played
hundreds of records with other musicians over the years, and wanted to have a
project where he could record and play live just by himself. Too many musical
ideas that didn’t fit any other projects had accumulated over time, so he
decided to use some of those in a solo project. The plan was to record just one
album in 2012 (Rolling Bomber), but over time the solo project has become more
and more significant.
