Lasse and co-producer Jo Berger Myhre (Blokk 5, Splashgirl) are very exited about the finished album, and are looking forward to go on a low no-budget European release tour in February.

The album will be available on CD (in a nice cardboard sleeve), as MP3 download (DRM free) and on iTunes music.

And while we’re at it: Splashgirl will be releasing their second album later this winter. More info will come at a later time.

Kennel Collector review

Norwegian student paper Universitas brings quite a nice review of the Kennel sampler CD. Unfortunately for some of you it is in Norwegian, but here’s some of it:

Philco Fiction is described as gentle jazz-pop that sends shivers down your spine, while Ontz sounds like children’s TV-jazz (!) meets Beach Boys. Lasse Passage gets compared to Sondre Lerche while Kristin Minde is described as a relative of Norwegian pop princess Marit Larsen. Blokk 5’s “Scandimals” is said to be a summary of the career of Motorpsycho.

A lot of strange comparisons but they assure us that it is all ment in a positive way.
