Tar en pust i bakken under oppussingsarbeidet og hviler øyet på utsikten fra en segen stol på kjøkkenet. #thatmagnificentdistraction

An Introduction…

“The whole of Post’s debut album glories in tunes many songwriters would kill for” Sunday Times Culture, London

Norwegian singer, composer and lyricist Robert Post debuted with a worldwide release of his eponymous titled album in 2005. Awarded Best Male Artist and Best Video at the Norwegian equivalent to the Grammys the same year.

His debut single Got None was a #1 hit song in Italy, #13 in the UK, Top 20 in France and #3 in Norway in the airplay charts.

He has toured with some of the music world's biggest artists including Aimee Mann, Rufus Wainwright, Jason Mraz, Texas, Natalie Imbruglia, Ray Lamontagne and Lissie.

Music critics has described him as Sgt Pepper-era Beatles blended with Rufus Wainwright's charm, with a bit of Bob Dylan and a dash of Neil Finn.

THE BUTTON MOULDER

Taking its title from Henrik Ibsen’s Peer Gynt, ‘The Button Moulder’ sees the welcome return of multi-talented musician and songwriter Robert Post.

Having returned to his native Norway after a stint in the UK some years ago, Robert Post made a return to his roots in more ways than one. Musically, this meant a stripped-down affair that resulted in the quite sublime ‘Rhetoric Season One’ and saw Robert Post work overtime by raising the bar when it comes to defining the role of a one-man band. Such was the quality of this previous album and critical reception that a season two was hinted at consisting of a fuller sound.

Finally, that moment has arrived with only the title shifting from its original conception as ‘The Button Moulder’ consists of more flesh on the bones, despite early indications suggesting differently with the exquisite vocal delivery and bare strings of a singular instrument of introduction ‘Be Kind’. Despite bringing a more comprehensive sound overall, ‘The Button Moulder’ retains a considerable amount of intimacy, due to the fact that Robert Post continues to sail alone when it comes to instrumentation duties, with warm recollections of (a) family life during ‘Safe and Sound’. ‘My Body’ is revisited, this time beefed up from its previous incarnation on ‘Rhetoric…’, and proving to be a definite thorn in Robert’s side as he attacks it with a tad more venom in a doomed attempt to stave off that bugbear of growing old. ‘The Button Moulder’s Walk’ really provides an atmosphere of wide-open spaces before arriving at its destination all too soon.

Robert Post’s most compelling instrument, however, remains his vocal as there is a unique and ancient quality about it that can be traced back to earlier folk roots and best served up with ‘Feeler’.

Descriptions such as a return to form do not apply when it comes to Robert Post as each and every album contains its own unique merits. In terms of ‘The Button Moulder’ it’s business as usual as Robert Post continues to evolve musically and creatively as all good artists should.
