Europe's most hardworking rock band Kanaan will on the 25th of November release their sixth studio album in four years. Softly Through Sunshine will the first volume of the “Diversions''- series. A series of coming consecutive album efforts which will document Kanaan's jam sessions, diverse musical collaborations, sonic experimentation and artistic sidestepping. The album was composed, written and recorded within a span of five days at the remote Flerbruket studio at Hemnes in Norway. Together with the in-demand organ player Håvard Ersland they recorded five tracks which show a high degree of musical width and curiosity but also a strong sense of aesthetic unity and wholeness. The album was recorded and mixed by Mikkel Reinem Moen who also gave his creative contributions to the production of the album. Minimalism, contemporary psychedelia and ecstatic acid-jams is what constitutes the musical landscape which Kanaan and Håvard are voyaging through. Ersland contributes with outer-worldly synthesizers, acoustic piano and his signature cranked hammond organ. Sessions vol 1: Softly Through Sunshine documents spontaneity and fertile creativity in a meeting between an open-minded, cutting edge and explosive rock band and one of Norway's most interesting keyboard players.
