New for UK release in November IE is the latest album from Eivind Aarset, the Norwegian guitarist best known over here for his work with Andy Sheppard who he has been touring with recently.

Released on the Jazzland label, Aarset is over in December playing east London venue Rich Mix with Anneli Drecker on 11 December.

Aarset describes the album as based on experiences of the live line-up over the last five years, with “a rougher edge” than his previous work.

On the album he’s joined by bassist Audun Erlien and drummers Wetle Holte and Erland Dahlen, with live sampling from Jan Bang and a vocal spot from Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari plus a brass section among the other contributions.

One and the Same Again from the album can be listened to above
