2LP - BEL CANTO - RADIANT GREEN

In 2024, a new chapter unfolds in the history of one of the true pioneers in the electronic music genre - the Tromsø duo, Bel Canto.
The upcoming album, 'Radiant Green", due for release on April 26th 2024, brims with creative and musical abundance. It sounds fresh and new while drawing from the unmistakable sonic landscape of the band's remarkable musical treasury, which includes mega-hits like 'Shimmering, Warm & Bright' and the Spellemannpris-winning 'Magic Box,' to name a few.
It's been 22 years since Bel Canto last released an album, but now it's finally due.
Following a successful mini-tour, culminating in a memorable concert at the Øya festival in 2017, Drecker and Johansen embarked on the creative process for what they eventually understood would become their next album.
The journey has been long, with many notable names contributing to the process, including Gilles Martin, who co-produced the band's first two albums, Erik Ljunggren, and Matias Tellez, who has mixed the new album. One of several musical highlights on the album is the track 'Virginia,' a rare duet featuring Sondre Lerche, a long-time friend of Anneli's, who has also closely collaborated with Tellez on several of his recent albums.
The band's longtime associated member, Andreas Eriksen, contributes percussion, and on 'Wave Without A Shore,' they enlist the help of Frida Fredrikke Waaler Wærvågen on cello and Nils Petter Molvær on trumpet. The otherworldly beautifulsaxophone solo on the French-language track 'Train Window Girl' is performed by Steven Brown from Tuxedomoon.
