“Albin Ormegard’s music blends modern instrumental jazz guitar with pop, blues, and influences from singer-songwriters. It’s a dynamic mix of elegant songwriting, harmonic richness, melodic depth, and minimalist beauty. Expansive, ambient soundscapes transition seamlessly into intense, virtuosic guitar solos. With a rhythm section always in sync with the pulse of the music, Ormegard’s songs takes on a life of its own and transforms into something truly unique.”
