About Me

The album "In a Great Wave of Horns" is available from the band members. For those of you far from us, it is available on iTunes and CDBaby.com

Nice people saying nice things:

"Overall, Russenorsk have released a promising debut with solid melodies and lyrics that stand up to repeat listens...now is chance to check them out before everyone knows their name."

-Sam DaMatta, The Fire Note

"...[In a Great Wave of Horns] is a positively striking combustion of dynamic originality and authentic beauty. Mesmeric, melodic guitar intertwines with masterful cello strains that glide from dainty to haunting with immaculate ease, creating a flawless backdrop for Race’s permeating vocals. Race’s voice, beautiful and earnest, drips with a trembling, pervasive honesty that is absolutely captivating."

-Jen Kessler, SpeakeasyMag.com

"The debut album of local band Russenorsk shines as an excellent locally produced work of art. With captivating melodies and beautiful lyrics, In a Great Wave of Horns is an excellent release. "

-Isaac Smith, Trianglemusicreviews.com

Russenorsk is an extinct pidgin language commonly used between sailors of the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, Russenorsk is an independent folk/rock trio out of wonderful Athens, Ohio. Combining guitar looping and lyrical folk with walking cello and orchestral percussion, Russenorsk fronts a unique, rewarding sound.
