Leif Vollebekk - Inland

Review by Dan Cooper-Gavin

In the final analysis, Inland is a frustrating record. For sure, it’s seductive enough to lure you in, but all too often the knickers remain resolutely on. »

'inland' finds vollebekk baring his soul and achieving a deep poignancy [and] effortlessly transcends the singer-songwriter paradigm. arranged and orchestrated entirely by leif, 'inland' is primarily centered around leif's acoustic guitar and story-telling, featuring string quartets on occasion, piano at times, and splashes of harmonica and drums. vollebekk, a multi-instrumentalist, is often seen performing solo, playing the violin on stage, using loop-samplers for accompaniment and then switching to electric or acoustic guitars to create a sound similar to the album, but an entirely different experience.
