Konradsen

Konradsen, the Norwegian duo of Jenny Marie Sabel and Eirik Vildgren, have established themselves as a voice in contemporary Scandinavian alternative pop. Known for poetic songwriting and detailed sound, they craft music where organic textures intertwine with subtle electronic elements, creating an expression that feels intimate. Their 2019 debut, Saints and Sebastian Stories, won a Norwegian Grammy for Album of the Year (Indie/Alternative). Their second album, Michael’s Book on Bears, received a Norwegian Grammy nomination in 2025 for Alternative Pop, alongside artists like girl in red, Aurora and ULD. Konradsen perform at SJQ, London, on 2 November 2026 at 7:30 pm.

Their new album, Hunt, Gather, represents a shift in process and perspective. Work on the record began in parallel with the composition of an original score for a short film set in the northern Norwegian village where Jenny lives. As a result, the early studio sessions were shaped as much by the film’s world as by the album itself. Ideas, sketches and field recordings moved between the two projects, allowing atmosphere and intuition to guide the music. The album moves between the intimate and the cinematic, from small sound collages of everyday moments to larger arrangements. Throughout, Hunt, Gather carries the imprint of northern Norway, the place they have both returned to, and of a close-knit community of collaborators, including Gia Margaret, Angie McMahon and Bruce Hornsby.
