The CD will follow the initial release of Sendebud fra sandkassa this summer, which quickly sold out. The expanded edition adds the sparse and haunting “Kjære, hvorfor?” as a bonus track, which you can hear below. The album includes the singles “Øya mine”, “Pen søm”, and “Sendebud fra sandkassa”.

Rigla are Lova Siverts and Lea Hareide Jønnum on vocals, Ingrid Narum on saxophone, Lars Viljo Fauske on fiddle and synth, Selma Edwards Granly on double bass, and Linus Hanem Solvang on drums. The album was recorded at Brygga studio and Terskel lydstue in autumn 2025.

The band’s name comes from the Sunnmøre dialect word Riglafengje, meaning unsteady or wobbly. Rigla’s music combines Norwegian traditional music, jazz, and pop, with members drawn from music academies including NTNU’s jazz line in Trondheim and folk at NMH in Oslo.
