nordic songtresses

this month so far, it's been all about nordic songstresses.
at the start if december, i featured three lovely ladies (and their bands) with these tracks on the radio:
-sumie nagano (SE) - show talked windows
-ice cream cathedral (DK) - an armful of rubies 
-therese aune (NO) - in my quiet place

&  then a few days ago, i wrote an article about therese aune's album, an extract of which is below:

Therese Aune is a musician who hails from Norway. Her voice has a haunting quality, that also soars with cinematic grace before taking dramatic twists and turns. These changes of direction are evident on a number of tracks, with my stand-out being ‘In My Quiet Place’. This has all the elements of a track to accompany a film sequence of running through a Nordic forest in a snow storm, which is almost precisely how the video captures it, except the running is swopped for cycling and the forest for a fjord in the rain. I wouldn’t mind that being my quiet place to escape to, or any of the locations that feature in the video actually (which all can be found around Stavanger, in southern Norway).
