Listen to samples from Finn Coren's new Jens Bjørneboe project

Norwegian musician, singer, songwriter and performer Finn Coren, has made a name for himself by putting music to the poems of William Butler Yeats, William Blake and fellow Norwegian Olav H. Hauge. His last album was the stunning I draumar fær du (In Dreams You Travel) with the poems of Hauge, and on Friday he will release his second album in Norwegian, this time with music set to the poems of Jens Bjørneboe, called Mitt hjerte (My Heart). The link belows leads to a YouTube clip with samples of songs from it, and to judge from these soundbites, Mitt hjerte is an exciting, versatile, adventurous and beautiful album.
