In The Country

**In The Country** is a Norwegian jazz trio known for blending lush, atmospheric soundscapes with introspective storytelling. Formed in 2003 by pianist Morten Qvenild (of Susanna and the Magical Orchestra fame), bassist Roger Arntzen, and drummer Pål Hausken, the band mixes jazz traditions with indie-rock sensibilities and classical influences. Their work often feels cinematic—think moody Nordic landscapes translated into sound—and they’ve collaborated with artists like Thomas Dybdahl (*Trail of Souls*) and explored themes of memory and nature in albums such as *Whiteout* and *Losing Stones, Collecting Bones*. Recent releases like *Remembrance* and *Sunset Sunrise* showcase their knack for haunting melodies and improvisational flair, cementing their reputation as pioneers of Norway’s genre-blurring music scene.
