"Amsterdam Stranded" is the third album by singer Paal Flaata, bass player Ron Olsen and piano/guitar player Al DeLoner, like the second produced by Walkabouts´ boss Chris Eckman at Estudios Valentim de Carvalho, outside of Lisboa, Portugal. Their entourage also included English engineer Phill Brown (Talk Talk, Roxy Music, Robert Palmer etc.) and Walkabouts drummer Terri Moeller. That´s how the connection to Glitterhouse was made.
 

The band's songwriter Al DeLoner has come up with a haunting set of melodies that perfectly underscore the lyrical themes of religious and personal doubts sung by Flaata with a voice that would make a reading of Oslo´s phonebook sound intense.

Chris Eckman and Phill Brown are responsible for the weird little sounds that crop up frequently, a definite help in achieving their ambitious undertaking of making widescreen rock, and at the same time stear clear of the pompousness of conventional art-rock.
 

"Amsterdam Stranded" is simply a Norwegian beauty as breathtaking as the country's nature itself. Midnight Choir is taking the place of Jeff Buckley or Jeffrey Lee Pierce and celebrate a romantic suffering just like the Tindersticks (without their crooning), the clear intensity of the vocals are reminiscent of Tim Buckley and the minor-key mood will appeal to fans of Nick Cave. With melancholic strings drenching its dark vocals and mournful songs of spiritual and personal doubt, it could stem from the same hymnal desert Americana roots as Willard Grant and Handsome Family.

Midnight Choir got their name from a line in Leonard Cohen's "Bird on a wire", and that suits the music perfectly. "Amsterdam Stranded" is one of the true classics from the 90's.
