Biyografi

The duo GARNESS consists of the two Norwegian twin sisters Ingelin Reigstad Norheim and Hildegunn Garnes Reigstad. The girls grew up in a home filled with music on the island Holsnøy outside Bergen, where the piano play could be heard through the walls in the late hours. They wrote their first songs at the age of 5, inspired by both dad and grandmother. Now 33 years old and well-established as artists and musicians on the Norwegian music scene, they are releasing their long-anticipated, third album, Canyons and mountaintops. — All of the 10 songs on their upcoming album are written by the sisters. The title of the record in a way summes up what they would like to fathom with this compilation of songs - life itself, with all it’s ups and downs. Doubt, insecurities and struggles alongside faith, optimism and love. Days of confusion and disillusion in dark canyons - and moments of revelation and revealing insight on the top of the mountain. And then some sheer fun, of course. The girls play a number of different instruments, such as guitars, piano, harps, a variety of percussion instruments, glockenspiel etc, and seek to provide a unique sonic experience for their listeners. Along with their special vocal blend as identical twins, the girls have become known for their musical originality and their personal, engaged way of performing. Listeners who are familiar with Garness’ earlier releases, will notice that there is a more powerful energy on this new album.
