“The album is a combination of personal experience and a wider observation of society and how I feel people are living their lives,” Hukkelberg says. “The Internet and social media have such an impact on my life, and I’m often made aware of how addicted I am to this 'digital beast’. How can something that is not part of our basic nature be so consuming?”
Beneath the doom, dread and data lies a glimmer of hope – of ‘Trust’ – turning Hukkelberg’s dystopian drone into more of an empowered plea for society. “Trust is something that will never expire, it’s a quality that we’ll retain in both real and virtual life.”
’Trust’ joins Hukkelberg’s nationally adored and internationally acclaimed back catalogue, including‘Blood From A Stone’ (2009), Norwegian Grammy Award-winning LP ‘Rykestrasse 68’ (2006) and breakthrough debut ‘Little Things’ (2004). Spanning more than a decade, her career is celebrated by the likes of Pitchfork, BBC, KCRW, The Guardian, Metro, Uncut, The Quietus, Clash and Drowned In Sound.
