Having recently announced that AIRBAG guitarist BJØRN RIIS would be releasing his first solo album, „Lullabies in a Car Crash”, in the Autumn, Karisma Records have today debuted a track from the album. The track, „Stay Calm„, can be heard on the Karisma Records SoundCloud page at https://soundcloud.com/karisma-records/bjorn-riis-stay-calm
„Lullabies in a Car Crash” will be co-produced by long-time ARIBAG collaborator Vegard Sleipnes and will feature AIRBAG’s Henrik Fossum on drums, as well as vocalist Asle Tostrup, who will provide programming. RIIS recently commented on his reasons for embarking on a solo venture, and how he felt about working outside of AIRBAG: “I’m excited, it has been an interesting journey doing everything by myself. This is not a huge departure from the AIRBAG sound or format, but it is a chance for me to explore different directions and musical ground that might not have fit the band. It’s a personal album and I think some of the stuff is my best work to date.”
