The musician & songwriter Stein Roger Sordal is finally ready with his second solo album – “…All I Try to Forget” – the first part of a double album where all music and lyrics iswritten by Sordal himself. Through the years, the renowned Norwegian has played in a variety of bands. Internationally, he’s mostly known as the bass player and songwriter in Green Carnation, while more and more people also know hum as the singer, guitar player and songwriter in the band Sordal.
Stein Roger Sordal has played on more than 30 album releases from the 90s and up to now, but last year’s “As I Try to Remember…” was his first a solo album, where everything was played by himself.
Both albums show Sordal diving into his own catalogue, making acoustic versions of songs he originally wrote for bands like Green Carnation, Sordal, Angels Motel, Plutho and Soxpan. His choices haven’t necessarily been the most known songs, but rather those who mean the most to him. The album is sparsely arranged, and consists mostly of vocals, acoustic guitars and piano.
