"Hailing from Norway is Steinar Karlsen, a fine player who instinctively understands the guitar music of the early ´60s. On his new album, Tur, Karlsen covers the gamut of spy-tinged melodies, film noir, and surf, never overplaying, while capturing fat tremolo tones. Add spooky vibrato organ and Steinar´s slick licks, and you have one of the best instrumental releases of the year."
