Wildcard (week 37):
Sol Heilo – America
With her band Katzenjammer on hiatus, Norwegian artist Solveig Heilo embarks on a career of her own. Playing guitar, trumpet, banjo, harp, flute, accordion, mandolin, ukulele, drums, bass and many other instruments, she isnβt only a singer, but a multi-instrumentalist, as you will hear on her first solo album Skinhorse Playground, which she releases on 6 October.
America is Sol Heiloβs new solo single. It featured here before, but I like it so much, I made it this weekβs Carte Blanche Music Wildcard, giving it the most prominent place on the blog for seven days in a row.
Make sure you watch the video, it took 744 hours to make! The raw material, all shot with her iPhone, is 27 hours long and she filmed 42 locations in addition to 24 close-ups in her living room and garden.
