    Vollebekk laces his capacious, meandering music with a ’60s folk-jazz sensibility. As with Twin Solitude, he recorded New Ways directly to tape, allowing each song’s mood to dictate its direction.

    Proceeds with the unhurried observational vividness of extended takes in a Richard Linklater film. [Dec 2019, p.35]

    The remarkable feat of New Ways is the ability to both resonate with those who loved Twin Solitude, while also pushing tendrils out towards listeners in search of more versatility.

    Fame may be fickle, but Vollebekk’s dedication to improving his craft is anything but.

    Beautiful album! A diverse but thoroughly warm collection of songs with excellent musicianship and poetry.
