info 

On this new album with appealing and captivating tunes and lyrics by Kirsti Dahl Johansen and vivid arrangements by Tord Gustavsen, Skruk sings songs that tell us how humanity keeps making the same fatal mistakes over and over, and yet never stops hoping and fighting for what is right. This is an album that does not hide who we are and how we fail as individuals and society. It points back to many references from Biblical stories, but it is surprising how the lyrics and melodies transform the old stories into highly topical and relevant issues. In addition to his arrangements, Tord Gustavsen also participates with his characteristic piano sound (on a Fasioli concert grand), while Rune Arnesen plays inspiring and steady grooves on drums. The album has been recorded in Sagene Church in Oslo by Alf Christian Hvidsteen; produced by Erik Hillestad.
