To change the name of a band that have existed for 16 years, toured all over the world and (soon) released six albums, is probably not a very good idea. But, that’s the case! And on October 24, the new album How To Climb A Mountain is released, an album about meeting at the top and realize that the hardship was worth it. Or, about choosing the steep path instead of the pedestrian street. Suddenly, the tango suit was too tight. Or to be honest, the tango suit has been hanging in the closet for a while now, the rose in the buttonhole have slowly faded and the shoes are not so shiny anymore. But NTO have found new clothes and now the minimalism and the simplicity takes even more space. As mosaic, one can say, a landscape of tones, which can only be seen clearly when you watch it from a distance. When the team-work works while climbing through the clouds, facing the overwhelming view, and the cold that only a moment ago was biting is suddenly chilling, when taking the time to stretch one’s back and just enjoy for a while. There they are now, NTO, with a new name and highland-air in their lungs. THE RECORDING The composer Per Störby has written loads of music for film, TV and theatre, recently for the biggest theatre in Sweden, Stockholms City Theatre. Now he’s leading NTO, by gentle hands, to a more refined, somewhat distinct, yet emotional expression. When the material was finished in June, they rigged the microphones between paint buckets and easels in an art school by the sea in Bohuslän/Sweden. NTO stayed there for a week, far away from everything. “Play this patterns over and over til lunch. It will be good, I promise!” Then lunch by the ocean, evaluation, and more recordings. Later on, in the evening: Long talks about everything under the sun that never sets. 16 years for a band is a long time, but NTO is still a motley crew. The personalities makes big impressions in the music and in that way the minimalism on How To Climb A Mountain becomes a thick forest of expressions and styles in micro format. SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN How to climb a mountain is the sequel of Vesper (2009), NTO’s fifth album, which were awarded in the category “experiment” at the Swedish Grammy-like Manifest gala, and which also led to the “Group Of The Year” award on the Swedish folk- and world music gala. Vesper has been spread all over the world and now lives a life of its own; at the moment one can hear a track from Vesper in the multi award-winning documentary Searching For Sugar Man, and when Scotland-based Maja Borg in November is having the premiere of her movie Future My Love, the main part of the soundtrack is from the very same album.
