Only nine months after
Hedvig Mollestad
momentous debut solo album
Ekhidna
(RCD 2215CD/RLP 3215LP), the guitarist is back fronting her trio. With their previous album,
Smells Funny
(RCD 2203CD/RLP 3203LP, 2019), this explosive and expansive trio experienced a breakthrough of sorts, having gone from strength to strength through five albums since their 2011 debut
Shoot!
(RCD 2115CD/RLP 3115LP, 2011), gathering respect from both rock and jazz camps, sharing big stages with the likes of
John McLaughlin
and
Black Sabbath
, and being equally comfortable on jazz and rock stages. Hedvig enforced this breakthrough with
Ekhidna
, appearing on both jazz and rock best of 2020 lists, like coming in third in Prog's "Album of the Year" poll. With the hypnotic title track, the spacious ballad "Four Candles" and generally a more varied mood,
Ding Dong. You're Dead.
is the trio's most dynamic album to date. That said there's still enough solid and creative riffing here to satisfy the headbangers, as well as the jazzheads, as they further explore the free and open landscapes most notably started with their
Black Stabat Mater
album (RCD 2183CD/RLP 3183LP, 2016) and continued with
Smells Funny
. As
Nate Chinen
wrote about
Black Stabat Mater
in JazzTimes: "
Her trio, which has
Ellen Brekken
on bass and
Ivar Loe Bjørnstad
on drums, caught my ear then with its audacious style references: the loose swagger of early Black Sabbath; the density and prowl of peak
Led Zeppelin
; the expeditionary urge of
Jimi Hendrix
; the incantatory fervor of John McLaughlin
." This trio radiates confidence and have become a surefire hit on the Norwegian live scene. And while we rightly praise Hedvig's exceptional abilities, let's not forget how important the rhythm section is to make it all work so well. Ellen Brekken is an accomplished bassist, driving the band just as hard on the electric bass as on the acoustic. Then there's Ivar Loe Bjørnstad, not your regular rock drummer, not your regular jazz drummer, but in possession of the loose swagger mentioned above.
