Vinyl release of Hedvig Mollestad Weejuns album. Released through Rune Grammofon and available on 2LP! Never one to rest on her laurels and always eager to break new ground, it's full steam ahead for guitarist Hedvig Mollestad when teaming up with sublime keyboard player Ståle Storlokken (Elephant9, Supersilent) and young drummer ace Ole Mofjell in a new trio bearing her name.

Beautifully subtle and fiercely burning, Weejuns is a solid step into shimmering, hardcore improvisation and breathtaking instrumental interplay, a temporary move away from the composed music of her regular trio and the ensemble projects.

It was not the intention, but with this in mind and great recordings of a handful of concerts, it made perfect sense to make the trio's debut a double live album.

We don't like to put tags on music, but it's possible to place the trio in the same musical landscape as Bitches Brew-era Miles, Supersilent, Henry Cow and King Crimson 73-74.
