Alfred Lorinius has for the last ten years played an important role on the Scandinavian jazz scene, being one of the young progressive bass players. Now, not as young but more experienced, he releases his second eclectic full length album, with his solo project Stormfågel. 

His idea with ”The Picture” was to create two separate rooms for the listener to move between. Atmospheric bass solos, recorded in an old stone church, on one hand – and studio recorded rhythmical music for quintet, on the other. The band consists of drummer Oliver Steidle (The Killing Popes, Philipp Gropper’s Philm) as well as Lorinius old stablemate from Farvel, tenor saxophonist Otis Sandsjö (Y-Otis, Lucia Cadotsch Speak low). The line up is completed with guitarist Joel Fabiansson (Anna von Hausswolff) and singer Marie Nilsson Lannerö (Macuwa). 

The album was digitally released in April 2021 and released as vinyl in October 2021 (visit our shop to buy), thanks to economical support from The Swedish Arts Council.
