In 2023, Einar Solberg (Leprous) commences his solo career with the release of 16 a collection of intimate but extravagant collaborations with an impressive array of like-minded songwriters and composers, and a large number of musicians helping him achieve this very ambitious album. Wildly diverse but spiritually rooted in Einars well-established musical world, 16 is an album that brims with surprises and spinning curveballs. Collaborating with everyone from modern prog contemporaries like Bent Knees Ben Levin and Agent Frescos Toti Gudnason, to experimental cellist (and regular Leprous live musician) Raphael Weinroth-Browne and Magnus Brmark, best known as a member of Norwegian alt-folk troupe Gte. He also once again collaborates with Ihsahn and Starofash. The sound of a restless spirit in his absolute element, 16 is an extraordinary first foray into solo waters for Einar Solberg.Available as Ltd CD Digipak & als Gatefold 180g 2LP+LP-booklet.
