Susanna And The Magical Orchestra

Norwegian Ambient Pop Duo

Susanna and the Magical Orchestra is a Norwegian duo known for their minimalist approach to music and their unique blend of jazz, pop, and electronic elements. The group consists of Susanna Wallumrød, who provides the vocals and plays the piano, and Morten Qvenild, who handles the array of electronic instruments. They first gained attention with their debut album "List of Lights and Buoys" released in 2004, which showcased their talent for creating hauntingly beautiful music with a sparse yet emotionally rich sound. The duo's cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene" from this album particularly stood out and received critical acclaim.
