Annlaug's music is a mixture of Norwegian Folk Music and her own compositions, all within an influence of folk/roots and pop/rock.

Her great fascination of music from the British Isles has taken her on frequent journeys across the North Sea to explore, learn and take part in the music from Scotland and the northern isles. This is her debut album, recorded in Scotland.

Her musical versatility is evident in the diversity of styles. Rock, Americana, folk and traditional flavors are married beautifully on this album. The songs are in the native tongue of her picturesque home village of Ulvik, on a fjord inland from Bergen, but she has provided a lyric booklet translated into English.
