Tirill - Tales from Tranquil August Gardens - Re-release 2011

"Tales from Tranquil August Gardens" is a silent album, yet it's so intense that you can close your eyes and easily imagine the artist sitting next to you -- maybe at a hidden place in the August Gardens -- and playing her breathtakingly beautiful songs. The first eight tunes undoubtedly embody the sound of "Norwegian melancholy". All songs are created with deep love and with seldom carefulness, thus it makes little sense to explain that Tirill plays some kind of easeful folk music if you don't add how she and her gorgeously talented guest musicians present her songs. It's indeed shadowy music, but in those shadows the listener's imagination might travel upon so far unknown pathways well worth to discover. I lack the right words to describe the much more than fascinating character of her music, yet I can only give you the advice to accept Tirill's invitation for this intimate meeting... -- Thor Joakimsson

[WILLOW5521]

It is mysterious and romantic. It is not predictable. The background keyboard voicings (or maybe they are real voices?)....is haunting. The song also makes me visualize when I was a child. There is something very different about her as an artist. She seems to be in a world of her own. The song puts me in a trance. This is probably what it feels like to be under a spell. I don't know how she does it! She has a great originality to her expression. She is also a fine musician. Tirill! very great!
