Band MembersSplashgirl happens when Andreas Løwe plays the piano in the same area of acoustics as Jo Berger Myhre plays the doublebass and Andreas Knudsrød plays the drums.

From time to time we invite other musicians to join the band.
So far, we've had the pleasure of being joined by Joel Wästberg (sax), Lars Kurverud (bassclarinet), Sebastian Grüchôt (violin), Anders Hofstad Sørås (pedalsteel) and Lasse Passage (acoustic guitar/vocals) on different occasions.
InfluencesVery much and different stuff, but it might be obvious that we enjoy the music of Paul Bley, Earth, Steve Reich, Oren Ambarchi, Erik Satie, Sigur Rós and of course our comrades in Kennel Collective.

   About Splashgirl
ORDER THE NEW ALBUM - ARBOR:
CD from Platekompaniet (Norway)
CD from Diskunion (Japan)
iTunes
MP3s from musiconline.no



"Arbor is a simply remarkable album where the slightest gradation speaks with great profundity." - John Kelman, All About Jazz

"Arbor has of course become something out of the ordinary." - Tor Hammerø, Nettavisen/Side2

"close to a filmatic experience."- Roy Søbstad, Fædrelandsvennen

"provides the sounds for our millions of unconcious thoughts (...) Highly recommended." - Andreas Aa. Hagen, Universitas


Still acoustic, the music on "Arbor" takes a more minimalistic and defined collective approach where the use of long, sustained sounds binds together a broad palette of string- and percussion-instruments.



ORDER OUR DEBUT "DOORS. KEYS." HERE.


"Doors. Keys. leans towards the cerebral, but its occasional forays into fiercer territory give it a physicality that belies its overall dark nature. Party music it isn't, but Splashgirl's debut (...) posits a new direction for an overburdened format, keeping it fresh, innovative and, most of all, thoroughly modern." - Allaboutjazz.com

"Every note, every theme and every pause seems well thought-through. At the same time, this music is difficult to listen to in an analythic, distant way, and it..s hard not to be engaged by it. It sounds organic, natural of tree and strings and the band stands out as a gathered collective that breathes together." - Jazznytt

"The band suprises you all the time, makes you curious about what will happen around the next corner." - Dagsavisen

"An original addition to Norwegian improvisation music." - Dagbladet

"Splashgirl is a collective with a huge potential which is going to be very interesting to follow." - TV2

"The overall is impressing, we especially notice the very excellent pianist and composer Andreas Løwe." - Avisa Nordland




LIVE REVIEWS

"Every year Punkt features emerging artists, and often they deliver some of the festival's best performances. Splashgirl was an exciting discovery and one of Punkt 08's best shows, ranking as the surprise of the year— and not just at the festival." - Allaboutjazz.com

"Simultaneously demanding and appealing, Splashgirl are a group that are truly an emerging force, and will undoubtedly be making their way towards a larger listenership very soon - and rightly so." - Jazzland

"Giovanissimi allievi di Jan Bang giunti alla prima registrazione con la piccola meritevole etichetta AimRecords (di recente ha cambiato nome in aimsoundcity), sono stati sicuramente tra le novità più interssanti viste al festival." - italy.allaboutjazz.com



Splashgirl is formed by a group of young norwegian musicians. The band has since the beginning in 2004 done concerts around Norway and nothern-Europe and released two highly acclaimed albums. Doors. Keys.(AIM 2007) and Arbor(Hubro 2009).

Andreas Løwe – piano, acoustic guitar a.o.
(b. 1983) Andreas composes most of the music for Splashgirl as well as for Post, Fym! and the other bands he play either piano, synths or electronics with. Andreas has written commisioned music for different occasions.

Jo Berger Myhre – doublebass, zither a.o.
(b. 1984) Jo has lately become quite a sought-after bassplayer and is performing regularly around Europe with musicians from all of the Nordic countries, in bands like Laser, Blokk 5, Ingrid Olava and Solveig Slettahjell Slow Motion Quintet.

Andreas Lønmo Knudsrød – drums, percussion a.o.
(b. 1982) Andreas has since long been touring Europe with the spectacular medieval theatregroup Stella Polaris. He plays with Jo in alt-rockband Blokk 5 and with Løwe in postrock-act Lama.

Splashgirl is part of Kennel Collective.
