Presenting Little Things, the highly anticipated debut album by Norwegian vocalist Hanne Hukkelberg, a release that continues and highlights The Leaf Label’s tradition of sourcing unique and extraordinary music from around the world

A graduate of Oslo’s National Academy of Music, Hanne Hukkelberg has incorporated piano, banjo, fiddle, accordion, violin, glockenspiel, glass bottles, and bicycle spokes to create a warm set of campfire songs made intimate by her mellifluous voice

This release needs to walk onto the must have lists of all discerning CD buyers, and especially those who have bought albums by Joanna Newsom, Cocorosie & Emiliana Torrini recently

Little Things features appearances from the cream of Norway’s musical talent including members of Jaga Jazzist, and noted Norwegian producer Kåre Christoffer Vestrheim

Live shows are currently being scheduled for the late Spring including festival appearances and a full EU tour follows in the autumn

A debut album as strong and rich as this always benefits from a positive press reaction and a word of mouth buzz; please get back to us with your marketing suggestions to capitalize on what is surely going to be a much heralded debut.
