The Last Hurrah!! - Spiritual Non-Believers (2011)

The Last Hurrah!! is an international pop/rock project whose constantly
evolving lineup creates sounds drawing heavily from the music of the 60s
and early 70s. The project was assembled in 2010 by successful veteran
producer and multi-instrumentalist HP Gundersen (Sondra Lerche, Madrugada,
Ane Brun, Tim Rose). He became obsessed with Stephen Stills' 'secret
tuning' on "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," and he spent some time exploring music
based on open, modal guitar tunings, hence his term for The Last Hurrah!!'s
music: 'drone guitar'.

"Spiritual Non-Believers" is a fascinating and lovely mix of acoustic drone
guitar, cosmic raga, pure pop and the very local take on country music so
special for the west coast of Norway. The half hour centrepiece of the
album is based on a dark, sordid and bizarre story, in stark contrast to
the almost high spirited feelgood atmosphere of most of the music. He is
joined by Heidi Goodbye on vocals and a number of guests.
