The word \u201coffpiste\u201d associates to off-piste skiing and implies a path, somewhere off the beaten track. This is also true for Offpiste Gurus‘ music, which moves freely outside the established boundaries of the genres.
\nOffpiste Gurus\u2019 music combines the singer-songwriters\u2019 commitment to personalized storytelling with the tradition for improvisations in a blue-toned landscape, which Scandinavian jazz is so famous for.
\nThe songs are set in tight, intricate arrangements, that cut to the core of each song, while leaving plenty of space for V\u00e6ring\u2019s beautifully unvarnished and charismatic voice and Lundin\u2019s potent and multi faceted improvising. It\u2019s produced by topnotch indie producer Nikolaj N\u00f8rlund<\/p>\n
