Twenty five year old Thea Glenton Raknes grew up back and forth between a hippie commune in Oslo and her father’s boat crewed by Swedish prog rockers. She has been writing songs and poetry since she was a child and eventually made the stage her home. Thea was previously the singer in Norma Sas who released “Hunting For Treasures” in 2011 to widespread acclaim. After the band split up later that year she began to get back to her own material and her solo debut. The first taste of what was to come was the track “Trains” that she recorded with Kenneth Ishak at Observatoriet studios.
“Most bands have a vocalist, but very few have one with the kind of charisma that makes them a natural front figure. Norma Sass’ Thea Glenton Raknes is very much in the latter category. She personifies the band’s sound and delivers the songs with a finesse which is plain to see for anyone watching the band.” – Håkon Moslet, NRK
