Rebekka Karijord @ The Ruby Lounge January 17, 2013

REBEKKA KARIJORD began playing music at an early age, experiments with piano & violin later influenced by the diverse tastes of her mother which included strong female figures like Janis Joplin, Patti Smith & Sheila Chandra & her father, who favoured the likes of Neil Young & The Rolling Stones. By the age of 14 she was demoing material in a local studio where she had begun to learn the principles of engineering & 3 years later she signed recording & publishing deals with a major label. It was The Noble Art Of Letting Go upon which she finally found her voice but new long player WE BECOME OURSELVES is a giant leap that sees her finally fulfill the promise that her father helped unveil within her all those years ago. The results of these sessions are genuinely exceptional, filled with organs, choirs, piano, guitar, drums & her fierce, striking vocal delivery. WE BECOME OURSELVES’s centerpiece is ‘Use My Body While It’s Still Young’ a song built upon a bedrock of vast, tribal drums. KARIJORD’s vocals are potent & yet unafraid to display subtle, bewildering hints of vulnerability in both her delivery & lyrics. If “romantic, huge, physical & powerful, yet stripped & raw” were her goals, then she has more than surpassed them & has crafted a record of unforgettable, eerie magic as moving as the events that first pricked the sides of her artistic intent, as epic yet peaceful as the Norwegian landscape into which she was first born to two young, doomed, inspirational idealists.
