RELEASE INFORMATION
After more than forty years of concerts, recordings and releases, breakups, reunions and new breakups, including a pandemic, and fifteen years after their last album, Sister Rain are back with their most ambitious project ever. Trad. Arr. is the first of two double albums collecting unrelaseed material from the entire history of band, from 1983 to 2025. So this is not an ordinary compilation or “Best of” release, but a distillation of four decades of musical magic from one of Norway’s most legendary and longest-running underground bands. Sister Rain has been working on this project for more than ten years and are finally able to complete it.

The follow-up to Trad. Arr. is planned for release in 2027.

UTGIVELSESINFORMASJON
Etter over 40 år med konserter, innspillinger og utgivelser, brudd, gjenforeninger og nye brudd, inkludert en pandemi, og 15 år etter forrige album, er Sister Rain tilbake med sitt mest ambisiøse prosjekt noensinne. Trad. Arr. er det første av to dobbeltalbum som samler tidligere uutgitt materiale fra hele bandets historie, fra 1983 til 2025. Dette er altså ikke en samleplate eller “Best Of”-utgivelse, men en destillasjon av fire tiår med musikalsk magi fra et av Norges mest legendariske og lengstlevende undergrunnsband. Dette er et prosjekt Sister Rain har jobbet med i over ti år, og som vi endelig har mulighet til å fullføre.

Oppfølgeren til Trad. Arr. er planlagt utgitt i løpet av 2027.
