Norwegian artist Susanna Wallumrød is the creator of bold, original and enrapturing music, capable of building worlds to lose yourself in and collaborator with artists and ensembles like American Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and the contemporary music ensemble Oslo Sinfonietta.

This year, Susanna's independent record label, SusannaSonata, celebrates its 15th anniversary, marking a decade and a half of creative autonomy by releasing three brand-new albums that feature and honour the specific artists she deeply loves to listen to; the experimental vocal duo Propan with tape queen Stina StjernShrew’, Norwegian explorative saxophonist Espen Reinertsen’s electronica album ‘Venus er i håret’ and Susanna’s old partner in Susanna and the Magical Orchestra Morten Qvenild’s second solo album Lokalt Piano’. 


Susanna is also celebrating with the release of a series of live videos from her recent album 'Meditations on Love’ alongside songs by Sandy Denny and Joy Division. Today Susanna shares "A Swallow", recorded with Juhani Silvola.
