Up until now, Lars Fredrik Frøislie was known as a member of Prog Rockers Wobbler, but thanks to Karisma Records the keyboard player has his debut solo album “Fire Fortellinger” out today!
Inspired by renaissance music, 70s Prog Rock, especially from Italy, Norwegian 90s Black Metal, British Rock and Heavy Metal from the 60s and 70s, as well as Folk Music, Jazz and Psychedelic Rock, Frøislie has created an album where each of its four tracks tells its own story.

For “Fire Fortellinger” Frøislie takes on vocals and drums, as well as a formidable array of instruments including and a few tons of old analogue keyboards such as Hammond C3, Mellotron M400, Minimoog Model D, Chamberlin M-1, Yamaha CP70B, William de Blaise spinet, Hohner Clavinet D6, Rhodes MkII and an Arp Pro Soloist. With him is Nikolai Hængsle (Elephant9, NEeedlepoint, Bigbang, Band Of Gold etc.) on Rickenbacker 4003, Fender Jazz Bass, Fender Precision and Fender Telecaster Bass.
Written during the pandemic “Fire Fortellinger” could well have been a totally different beast, one destined for a new Wobbler album. However, circumstances being what they were, Frøislie had to work on the material alone, thereby being able to preserve a degree of spontaneity that would not have been possible had it had to pass through the band process of rehearsals and recording.
“Fire Fortellinger” thus succeeds in preserving the impulsiveness of the original, allowing the audience to hear a finished work that is partly improvised and recorded in one take, free of any click tracks, auto-tune, MIDI or too much technology.
The album artwork is by Frøislie himself and “Fire Fortellinger” will be available in CD, Limited Edition LP and Digital formats.
