- «Detta kan vara en av årets mest säregna skivor och det är smått obegripligt hur Sundstøl bär sig åt, men alltihop hänger faktiskt ihop riktigt snyggt.“Rasmus Klockerljung / Lira Musikmagasin (SE)
- «Sundstøl can play it to world class standard» Prog (UK)
- «En strålende reise i verdensmusikk fra støvete, amerikansk prærie via India til Norge. Takk for turen!» Jan Granlie – Salt Peanuts

Biography
Geir Sundstøl and Erland Dahlen are two of the country’s most profiled musicians. In this setting, they will present their material in duo format at selected concerts. The concert will feature songs from the records as well as improvised music. Geir and Erland are both available in solo settings.
The Norwegian guitarist and self-taught multi-instrumentalist Geir Sundstøl, from Halden, has been making music for a living since 1988. He has left his unique musical mark on 260 records featuring everyone from a-ha to Nils Petter Molvær. “Furulund”, the first record he released under his own name, was a long-awaited debut from an extremely popular musician. Sundstøl has toured all over the world, and has been the most frequently played performer on Norwegian radio for several years. A concert he held with country artist Jimmie Dale Gilmore in the USA in the 1990s gave film directors and brothers Joel and Ethan Coen the inspiration for Gaear Grimsrud, Peter Stormare’s character in the film “Fargo”.
In six separate tracks over two LP sides, Erland Dahlen – who composed and played everything himself, bar one electronics-assist by Hallvard W. Hagen (of Xploding Plastix) on the song ’Swan’ – has produced a sophisticated suite or audio-collage where key elements appear, depart and return again to interweave at intervals throughout the album’s duration.
