About
Norwegian singer-songwriter Ragnhild og, known for her melancholic and experimental pop music, is set to release her second album this October. Her music blends expansive
synthesizers with improvisational elements, exploring themes of change, difficult relationships, and the struggles of navigating one's twenties.
Ragnhild og ́s debut album, "To Renovate a House," released in 2024, garnered widespread acclaim from major Norwegian newspapers and radio stations. The title track also received significant airplay on KCRW in Los Angeles last fall. Stay tuned for new music from Ragnhild og this spring, leading up to the album release in October.
“In sum, there are tons of small, elegant musical details and exceptionally well-written lyrics to truly enjoy throughout the album, but most powerfully felt is the pervasive sense of well-calculated emptiness. (...)
It feels equally poignant, melancholic, and contemplative, somewhat withdrawn, but at the same time exceptionally rich in human experience.”
“Through solid songcraft, well-thought-out soundscapes, creative and sonically playful lyrics, Moan appears to be one of those we can expect a lot from in the coming years.”
“The songs all feel a little bit magical. My gut doesn’t want to call them songs, but saying something like “compositions” feels too serious for me. I’m pulled to say something different because they all feel so complete and immersive. Each song a universe within itself.”
“The distance between the brief and intense to the expansive and distinct, shows that the wingspan of “To Renovate A House” is as far-reaching as it is fascinating.”
