Innlandet, Andreas Ulvo, Ingrid Olava - II (2025) [Official Digital Download]

I is the second album of the Norwegian Innlandet (the hinterland) duo project of pop vocalist-songwriter Ingrid Olava and pianist-composer Andreas Ulvo (of the Eple Trio and Karl Seglem Acoustic Quartet). Olava and Ulvo have been working now for more than a decade, drawing inspiration from pop, jazz, and classical music. Their self-titled album was released on Ulvo’s label, SoundCanBe Seen in 2018, as II. The album was recorded at Propeller studio in Oslo and was mastered by drummer-percussionist Jonas Howden Sjøvaag (who has played with Ulvo in Eple Trio and Seglem Quartet), who also did the cover artwork.

The duo aims to reinterpret music from various artists and eras, regardless of genre, performing it as if it were their own mature and introspective, often innocent and reflexive versions. Innlandet sticks on this album to its «dogma». All the music was recorded live, with the piano and vocalist in the same room, and it was captured in single takes without edits. This approach goes against the over-produced approach that dominates streaming services and seeks to suggest spontaneous and authentic covers.
