Tors Hammare / Thors Hammer - Art species and other creatures (2021 Simlas Produksjoner)

About 35 years ago, the group Tors Hammare/Thor's Hammer was formed. It is a constellation that has fanatically clung to the premise that the music of the collective is more important than its combined components. Everyone or no-one is the soloist.

Jonny Wartel and Lars Larsson - woodwinds

Gunnar Backman - fretted and fretless guitar, banjo, live loops and samples

Pål Christensson - double bass

Henrik Wartel on drums

They excavate, in the cellars of their minds, a music that is curious and experimental. This music uses the breadth and width of tonality, timbre, and their special "cupboard" of sounds.

"Melancholic without any categorical statements. The intensity is below the surface. it invites one to listen without pre-judgement."

"This is gifted music that communicates with its audiences and is filled with joy and musicality. The musicians seem to have total control over their means of expression."

Henrik Wartel & Jonny Wartel - HoJ (Simlas produksjoner 2017)

Simlas produksjoner is an open minded record label based in Norway and Sweden with a leaning towards improvised music. Besides building up our own unique catalogue of first-time releases we also re-release a selection of earlier released albums. Simlas is maintained by Anders Berg, Funäsdalen, Sweden and Tellef Øgrim, Oslo, Norway.

HoJ was formed on February 4, 1959, when Jonny was born and Henrik's two year solo project was completed. Since then, the two musicians have collaborated in a variety of constellations, such as Tajphoon Tivoli and Position Alpha - two almost cult groups active in Gothenburg in the 1980s. Right now they are also together in the Jonny Wartel 4th and Urgent Call groups. The music is spontaneous and true.
