Torgeir Waldemar took the Norwegian press and the music press by surprise with his first self-titled album in 2014. Who would have thought that this man with long hair and bearded, all dressed in black would deliver an album that has so captivated? An acoustic masterpiece that seemed to have come directly from the rehearsal room of a young Laurel Canyon troubadour in the seventies.

While his previous album cultivated an acoustic and pure sound, this time it's rock that dominates, and for Torgeir Waldemar, nothing is more natural. With his baggage of guitar heroes in various rock bands, it was only a matter of time before the distorted tones became apparent in his solo career. "No offending borders" is a generously composite work with honest acoustic tracks and grandiose rock songs.

For Torgeir, it's about documenting the seriousness we encounter in our daily lives. Both on a personal level, with collapsing relationships and the loss of loved ones, but also nationally and globally, with refugee crises, suicide statistics and the weakest members of our society .
