«Hurry Up Crow is Tor Konstalij’s second album. ‘Obviously it sounds fantastic, though - completely unintended - the aesthetics rethorically claims that there’s no such thing as rock’n’roll. Seduced and persuaded; I´m happy for the clean sheet’. He is currently working on a new album with his large band. ‘A big band is a whole other story’ he tells us. This time around Konstalij wants his music played on the radio even though the new songs have 7-8-9 verses and no choruses. Being that we know him and all, we didn´t comment on that and after a minute or so we heared him mumble ‘People can always buy two radios’. But he can be a nice guy too: ‘It’s gonna take some time recording such a large band - the songs have to be wider, the sound’s gotta be deeper and I’m gonna need a rise and a raiser - maybe we should make it a double?’»
