THE NORWEGIAN FORDS (TNF) is: Erik Enzo and Paul Call.
Put
short, TNF's music is a kind of pop - catchy, slightly sophisticated,
with a hint of jazz and offbeat lyrics on familiar subjects, but
with a twist.
Their
debut album has been mixed by Grammy Award-winning Bill Schnee at
Schnee Studios in Hollywood, LA.
The album is mastered at the world famous Mastering Lab, in LA,
by another Grammy-winner, Robert Hadley.
Thanks
to Bill and Robert, the album has got California written all over
it!
But
before TNF got lucky, and got in touch with Bill and Robert, Erik
Enzo met agent Margrethe Wam Fjell in LA. She set up a writing session
with pop lyricist Roxanne Seeman. Later on Seeman put Erik in touch
with David Lasley (a great songwriter, and James Taylor's backup
vocalist for years). David fell in love with the music, and took
Erik and the songs of TNF to Bill Schnee. Thanks, guys!
Also
a big hand to Steve Porcaro.
TNF met him at a songwriter convention in LA, before all the other
things (mentioned above) happened.
Porcaro's (almost unbelievably) great feedback and sheer enthusiasm
to TNF's music, in mails and through meetings, really got TNF going.

playing and song-writing, Paul used to work as copywriter, but quit
the job to get this (soon-to-be) "baby" flying.
