Like D'Angelo's the Vanguard, straight outta the rural Norwegian countryside, Norwegian 7-piece Fieh unleash the follow-up to their 2019 debut album. Cold Water Burning Skin was fittingly described as "future soul" by God Is in the TV and "left field R&B" by Clash Magazine, and the band continues in the same vein, although simultaneously broadening their spectrum. In the Sun in the Rain was recorded with famed Norwegian musician and producer Lars Horntveth (Jaga Jazzist, Susanne Sundfør, The Staves, Kimbra) who definitely brought his skills and eclectic tastes into the mix. Speaking of mixing, that part was done by the legendary "Analog Ninja" Russell Elevado. Known for his work with D'Angelo, Angélique Kidjo, The Roots, among others, Elevado has amplified the band's intentions in the studio, and given increased character to the record's sound.
