Olav Larsen & The Alabama Rodeo Stars Announce Their New Album “Stream of Consciousness, Vol. 2”

As far as new releases go, it isn’t an everyday occurrence for a new band to catch attention in the world of Americana music. Olav Larsen & The Alabama Rodeo Stars arise as a memorable exception. Their awaited album, Stream of Consciousness, Vol. 2, was released on April 21 and is considered a masterpiece for its evocative feeling and Scandinavian take on the Americana genre.

Olav Larsen, the African-Norwegian artist born in Stavanger, Norway has made a name for himself over almost two decades in the scene with his soothing alt-country, folk, blues and gospel infused sound. With a deeply rooted love for Hank Williams and Neil Young, his music represents the spirit of Americana with a Norwegian twist.

With Stream of Consciousness, Vol. 2, Larsen along with his band tackle the subjects of love, loss, and one’s sense of self through vivid language and powerful singing. They have flawless musicianship and a raw energy that is utterly believable creating a sensation of familiarity that is at the same time refreshing.
