On Friday, September 5, Liv Andrea Hauge Trio releases its third album, Døgnville, on Norwegian label Hubro. The record explores the feeling of being “døgnvill” – a Norwegian term describing the sensation of being out of sync with time and reality, like during jet lag or insomnia. The music inhabits this liminal space between structure and freedom, consciousness and dream.

Half of the compositions were written while pianist and composer Liv Andrea Hauge was bedridden with a high fever – in a semi-lucid, dreamlike state. The other half emerged ahead of the trio’s European tour in autumn 2024. The result is a fusion of fresh inspiration and songs shaped and seasoned through live performance – a record rooted in both spontaneity and maturation.

Since forming in 2022, the trio — Liv Andrea Hauge (piano), Georgia Wartel Collins (bass) and August Glännestrand (drums) — has become a compelling voice in modern acoustic jazz. With extensive touring across Norway and internationally, and two previous album releases, the band has cultivated a strong, intuitive musical chemistry. Døgnville reflects this — presenting a sound that is more serious and contemplative than earlier works, echoing the uncertainty and introspection of our times.
