专辑简介

The new album by Pellarin follows the same format as his first album on Statler & Waldorf "Athen" (2004). It seems a series of albums with a city theme is developing. This time it’s “Gundsø” -- the area north of Roskilde where Pellarin grew up. The only nuclear plant in Denmark "Risø" is located up there. Risø’s neighbour is the strange hill "Bolund". It sits in the muddy fjord as a giant grass turtle, still asleep since its birth during the last ice age. Pellarin had his first job in the cafe at "Vintappergården" – a rebuilt farm where huge busses full of elderly Germans arrived to look at dried/plastic flower decorations exhibited in the large quiet barns. Mozart was blasting out at hearing-aid volume during the few hours of visiting stampede. The rest of the time it was silent. Just Pellarin and the mice. As a child, Pellarin and his friends used to build caves in the foggy moors of Gundsø. Somehow many of the pieces that ended up on this album suit his memories from that time he explains. Now that the municipality reform of 2007 merged Gundsø with Roskilde, the name has disappeared. Contrary to previous Pellarin albums, “Gundsø” features two tracks with vocals – one of them a traditional song performed by Jesper Henriksen, who previously worked with Rasmus Møbius on material yet to be released. The other vocal element on the album is a middle eastern chant-like section in the track Iran.
