Millpond Moon
Maverick Magazine (Sept/Oct issue 2013)
It never ceases to amaze me the way that music and artists I've never heard about before inexplicably cross my radar. This Norwegian duo of Rune Hauge and Kjersti Misje have been creating their own blend of laid-back country, folk and Americana music for a number of years ... they even appeared at Glastonbury in 2004 ... yet this album from late last year is my first introduction to them.
Superb is not powerful enough to praise this. Their songwriting captures the pure essence of Americana; Kjersti's voice is to die for and blends perfectly with Rune's slightly gravelly tones creating a unique sound that is totally their very own. Seek out and you'll not be disappointed! Alan Cackett
