When WOBBLER’s keyboard player LARS FREDRIK FRØISLIE released his debut solo album “Fire Fortellinger” on Karisma records in 2023, he had always had a certain vision in mind for the track “Et sted under himmelhvelvet”, and now, thanks to Karisma Records, that vision is about to become a reality, with the release of the track as a very special single featuring STEFANO “LUPO” GALIFI, the legendary vocalist from the equally legendary Italian Prog band MUSEO ROSENBACH.
FRØISLIE who is himself a huge fan of Italian Prog in general and of MUSEO ROSENBACH in particular, explains:
When I wrote “Et sted under himmelhvelvet”, I imagined an Italian version in my head with just STEFANO “LUPO” GALIFI’S vocals. Not so surprising, perhaps, since he is one of my my favourite vocalists. I have loved his slightly raspy, but powerful and soulful vocals, ever since I discovered MUSEO ROSENBACH as a teenager.
When the opportunity presented itself, I thought it couldn’t hurt to ask him, and it gave me much joy that he was actually willing to sing on this one. Especially since he sings just as well today as he did 50 years ago.
For me, it was both emotional and surreal to hear a voice I have known and loved throughout much of my life, singing one of my songs.
Finally, I must thank Sergio Lombardi, who both put me in touch with Stefano, and translated the text into Italian for me.
The song “Et sted under himmelhvelvet” itself is a dreamy piece that conjures up images of a Renaissance garden near Florence or Arcadia. But, in fact, it could be anywhere where it feels good to be. It is partly about travelling to a place and feeling that you have been there before – only to find out that you had ancestors who lived there long ago.
Set for release on the 20th June, the single will only be available as a Limited Edition 10″ Vinyl, strictly limited to 200 copies worldwide, as well as a digital version.
Side A features STEFANO ‘LUPO’ GALIFI singing “Un Posto Sotto il Cielo”, the Italian language version of “Et sted under himmelhvelvet”, whilst side B features the original Norwegian version.
The 10″ Vinyl will come with a single in brown kraft paper sleeve, reminiscent of the good old 78 RPM gramophone records, and is now available to pre-order from:
