First ever vinyl release of RHONDA HARRIS' second longplayer, originally released in 2001. Rhonda Harris is a Copenhagen band that debuted in 1995 with an eponymous album.

The band's main anchor is Nikolaj Norlund with the band being the outlet for Norlund's songs written in english; his songs written in Danish are normally released in his own name.

Other Rhonda Harris collaborators are Mark Robinson (Unrest), Piet Breinholm Bendtsen from 18th Dye and Lise Westzynthius (ex-Luksus, now solo), Anders Christensen, Jacob Hoyer, (both from the Raveonettes), Rune Keldsen from Kira and the Kindred Spirits., as well as "guest vocalists" like Aud Wilken and Claus Hempler Nikolaj Norlund's (former TRAINS AND BOATS AND PLANES) English-language project, Rhonda Harris, delivers a little gem with "The Trouble With Rhonda Harris".

The record consists of 10 self compositions by Norlund and Lise Westzynthius, as well as a cover at Cohen's Avalanche.

The whole glory is tied together by a lyrical and erotic nerve, which one senses on the most silent numbers as well as on the prominent rock song "Flatlined", which, even in the steep fuzz guitar solo, does not forget the poetry.

"It's been a long time since you have heard such a fresh and well-presented play from Norlund's side, and you like to put ear to several of Rhonda Harris' problems." Sealed white vinyl, first pressing of 500 with padded inner as well as insert with lyrics, 140g pressed at Optimal.

For fans of Leonard Cohen, Galaxie 500, Townes Van Zandt
