Pettersen and Hess have been working together since 2003, and have, in this time, built up a following of support from their live appearances on the Scandinavian festival circuit.

The album, By this river, is a journey through seven cover versions of carefully chosen songs, plucked not from mainstream, but from the more inaccessible places of the musical spectrum:

Brian Eno’s ‘By this river’
A-Ha’s ‘Hunting high and low’
Blur’s ‘Out of time’
Jazz standard ‘Bye bye blackbird’
Jazz standard ‘Body & soul’
Depeche Mode’s ‘Home’
Lennon & McCartney’s ‘The long and winding Road’

Whilst remaining entirely respectful to basic tenets of the original songs, the representations here are nonetheless radical re-workings of those pieces.
