Paperbird"(****) is violinist Livet Nord's invitation to step into a magical mysterious world [...] irresistible.”

"...from the very first moment it was clear that there was something extraordinary about Livet Nord’s signature blend of folk, roots, and chamber music (...) The music is melodic, captivating, lovely. Making this encounter with Livet Nord mind-blowing."
– Ivan Rod (Sept. 2023) about Paperbird

"Music that reaches an esoteric dimension, spellbinding us in the manner of fairies dancing in nature […]
Eleven strong and sublime tracks make "Paperbird" a tour de force of poetry in motion.”

Livet Nord is dropping her first solo album Paperbird, brimming with musical influences from all over the globe and backed up by 19 prominent musicians. The compositions certainly reflect aspects from Livet’s eclectic musical background, her inquiring mind and penchant for accommodating various styles and expressions.  The melancholy polska ”Solace” is shoulder to shoulder with energetic minimalism, a lush landscape of strings, buoyant party music in, and a sparkling circus waltz with all the trimmings.
