Hedvig Mollestad Weejuns - Bitches Blues (2026) [Official Digital Download]

"Weejuns is all about interplay," explains guitarist Mollestad. "Bitches Blues consists of six instrumental tracks, or stretches of music, with an extreme range of dynamics.

Some are based around hefty beats, while other tracks are far more lyrical and rubato. It ranges from riff-based rock-ish stuff, to loud chaos, to melancholy ballads and even totally free improvisations." Taking a cultured yet refreshingly instinctive approach to intertwining instruments and influences, Bitches Blues (a wry play on Miles Davis album Bitches Brew) veers unpredictably from slow and soft, distinctly sectioned songs with disciplined chord progressions to explosive eruptions of cathartic and complex structures.

Weejuns (a slang abbreviation of "Norwegians") introduced themselves in 2023 with a self-titled double live album.

Originally assembled by Mollestad for the Kongsberg Jazz Festival, where she'd been awarded the prestigious Musicians Prize, Weejuns' collective chemistry has proven enduring and alluring, in part as a foil to the Hedvig Mollestad Trio's heaviest album to date, 2025's Bees in the Bonnet.

Mollestad has released eight acclaimed albums with her eponymous Trio, the signature of her 15-year career has been fusing serious chops with an overt focus on finding fun in sound.
