In 2016 Sternlumen released his highly praised self-titled debut album. Sternlumen has been compared to artists like Nils Frahm. His music also conjures thoughts of Lubomyr Melnyk, Keith Jarrett, Max Richter, and Carsten Dahl.
Nørrebro Nights is inspired by both jazz, classical, and minimalism. It is mixed and mastered by Boe Larsen and produced by Kudela. To ensure an optimal sound and ambience the album has been recorded on a Steinway D Grand grand piano in the jazz studio MillFactory on in the rough quarter of Copenhagen NV.
Kudela who originally comes from the Ruhr district in Germany has always been drawn to Scandinavia. After having lived in several quarters of Copenhagen he moved to the area of Nørrebro some years ago which would later inspire a body of work including the album.
Thomas comments: “The compositions express each their own ambience: melancholy, loneliness, madness, new found love, friendship and the special feeling at dawn when you bicycle over Dronning Louise’s Bridge.”
First single
The first single from the album, Red Wine Melancholia, was released June 19th. It is available to stream and download via Spotify or iTunes.
Release show
In the run up to the release, Sternlumen will play a range of concerts with a preview of the upcoming album. On September 23rd he will play in Koncertkirken (the Concert Church) on Blågårds Plads. Fans will have the opportunity to purchase the album on CD at the concert. Sternlumen has specifically chosen Koncertkirken for his release since it symbolises what Nørrebro Nights is about: A unique concert hall in an authentic and multicultural quarter where opposites meet and art is born.
Nørrebro Nights will be released on CD and digitally via Gateway and can be ordered here:
