Jordsj¯ is a duo from Oslo, Norway inspired by Olivier Messiaen, (German) Popol Vuh and Anthony Braxton, via Scandinavian folklore and jazz to early British prog. Pastoralia is their third studio album, which sees the band travelling further into jazzy, progressive musical landscapes. Pastoralia was recorded and produced in its entirety by Jordsj¯ between March and November 2020, in the basement of Bj¯rnerud Farm in VÂler, ÿstfold. Thematically, the album is based on dreams, a longing for freedom and the fictional place Pastoralia where every day is like tropical nights in Nothern Norway, where the forest people dance around campfires.
The band consists of multiinstrumentalist HÂkon Oftung (Tusm¯rke, Black Magic) and drummer Kristian Fr¯land, with guest appearanced by Ola Mile Bruland (Actionfredag), HÂkon Knutzen, Vilde Mortensen Storesund, Mats Lemjan, Christian Meaas Svendsen and ≈sa Ree (MEER, Tusm¯rke, Wobbler)
