About the release
“Herlighetens Vei” is Marthe Lea Band’s follow-up to the slightly classic debut album, “Asura” from 2021. It carries on the same life-affirming energy and explores new nooks and crannies in the band’s wonderful universe. The French jazz magazine Citizen Jazz was overwhelmed with enthusiasm for the previous record, and particularly boasted of Marthe Lea’s “ability to hold disparate idioms together, to mix a whole bunch of influences (whether musical or not, moreover) in the crucible of her own personality, of her own history, to bring out a great personal and extraordinary whole, a fresh and singular music which belongs only to herself.”
