Trad. Arr.

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.
