Cyesm - Conversations With Broken Souls

Ane Bjerkan’s unique voice and personality is gaining attention in the jungle of new Norwegian artists. Her compositions and lyrics are innovative and subtle, making Ane Bjerkan’s music personal and enticing. Her sound features pop and folk flavoured with jazz, delivered with soulful vocals and evocative melodies.

"'Arrows' is a treasure of a song to me. I’ve known it since the release of the debut album of Einar Strays Orchestra and also really liked the version of it that he did together with the band Your Headlights Are On back in 2011." says Ane.

"Einar asked me to do a cover of a song just some days after our first child was born and I was in a bubble of sensitivity and love where "Arrows" really resonated in me. The sentence from the chorus made a new meaning "All of you, destroyed with nothing but a stone or two" gave a new meaning. I felt like I had the strong love as an armor and arrows floating over us." Ane explains.

The recording of the cover of "Arrows" took place in a basement studio in Oslo in December last year and was recorded by Håkon Brunborg Kjenstad, who also plays guitar, viola and sings in the version. Ane’s newborn baby, Bergljot, was sleeping in a sleeping bag on the floor during the sessions.

In the cover version of the song Ane and her band combined the original arrangement of the song, with improvisations on viola and soprano saxophone. The original noise part in the outro is replaced by a processed saxophone solo over dark viola tones. Ane explains: "Camilla (sax) was playing something that to me sounds like wild arrows played by some darker sister of a Turkish kaval. I still listen to the part over and over again."

The cover of "Arrows" is played by Ane Bjerkan (vocal and Indian harmonium), Håkon Brunborg Kjenstad (guitar, viola and vocals), Jørgen Apeness (drums) and Camilla Hole (soprano saxophone) and Kenneth Ishak (bass). Kenneth Ishak (Beezewax, Universet etc) have also mixed the song. 

Originating from the peninsula Inderøy, north of Trondheim, Ane Bjerkan named her upcoming album the old name of her hometown «Eyinni Indri» (the inner island). The album will be released in spring 2023 and Einar Stay is also contributing to the album with keys, voice and sounds. The album will also include this version of "Arrows".

Following contributions by Mayuko (DE) and Von August (NO), Ane Bjerkan's interpretation is the third release to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Einar Stray Orchestra’s debut album "Chiaroscuro". 2022 will see a series of cover versions and reworks of all the tracks on "Chiaroscuro".
