VIOLETA VIOLETA VOLUME II

INFO The Norwegian sextet Kaizers Orchestra build cathartic rock songs that borrow heavily from the tunes of Tin Pan Alley and Eastern European folk music. Already on the first album in 2001, they shook the Norwegian music scene, won 3 prices for the release including a NOR Grammy, critical acclaim from nationwide press and went on to become the highest-selling rock debut ever issued in the Norwegian language. Since then, they have been #1 on the NOR album charts with each studio album, sold out shows on most of their tours, won 3 additional Norwegian Grammys (for music videos, rock, artist of the year), as well as commercial success in Europe with many tours and festival appearance, like playing the mainstage at Roskilde three times. In 2010 Kaizers Orchestra set out on their most ambitious project so far in their career: The trilogy "Violeta Violeta". 30 songs and three albums in two years: A vast variety of genres, moodes, arrangements, sounds and instrumentation, but always with the unique vibe of Kaizers Orchestra tying it all together. Released on 11.11.11. and making the number 1 spot on the salescharts, Kaizers Orchestra had a one-derful time with their seventh album, Violeta Violeta Volume 2. Volume 1 was described as "an innovative album, brimming with ideas and playfulness". Volume 2 was simply described as a "rock" album. A breather, some fun and games, between two career altering heavyweights. An oportunity to chase song ideas that maybe would not have made the cut under "normal" circumstances. Nevertheless, the album produced a couple of the most popular single tracks in the bands catalogue, in "1000 dråper vann" and "Dr¢m videre, Violeta".
