Flower of Evil
is the second solo album from
Susanna Wallumrød
, mostly known from two fine albums and a number of quietly powerful concerts with
Susanna and the Magical Orchestra
. Susanna has already proved herself as an original songwriter, "Believer" from Susanna and the Magical Orchestra's debut album from 2004 was named by
Mojo
as "
one of the greatest break-up songs ever
." And on her first solo album,
Sonata Mix Dwarf Cosmos
(2007) all 12 songs were her own. But Susanna is also known as an extraordinary interpreter of songs, "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and "Hallelujah" from Susanna and the Magical Orchestra's album
Melody Mountain
(2006) being two examples of her ability to renew "difficult" songs.
Flower Of Evil
is 12 sublime cover versions of mostly well-known songs as well as two Susanna originals, all beautifully sung by one of the most exceptional new voices of recent years, with lovely accompaniment by her trusted band members
Helge Sten
(
Deathprod
,
Supersilent
),
Pål Hausken
(
In The Country
) and with
Bonnie "Prince" Billy
guesting on two songs. Whether it's
Thin Lizzy
or
Sandy Denny
,
Black Sabbath
or
Nico
,
Lou Reed
or
Abba
, all are given the very personal Susanna treatment.
Flower Of Evil
was recorded in Atlantis Studio in Stockholm, a studio full of vintage, analog equipment and a wonderful engineer,
Janne Hansson
, who knows all there is to know about proper recording. And it is difficult to say something about this record without mentioning how good it sounds. While many are concerned about illegal downloading and the drop in CD sales, few seem troubled by the lost art of proper recording and the tyranny of compression and squeezing of music to make it sound as loud as possible on radio, mp3 players, cell phones and small PC speakers.
Flower Of Evil
is an old school recording of musicians playing and singing together with a bare minimum of compression being applied at the mixing and mastering stage, thus maintaining the natural dynamics of the performance.
