Connected (Eivind Aarset album)

Connected is an album by Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset.

John Kelman in his review states, "...the unique language that he has developed over the course of his previous two efforts, Electronique Noire and Light Extracts, would imply a more formidable technique at play that is simply so subtle that it is subsumed in the sheer musicality of the work. And that's exactly how it should be..."

Reception
The review of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album 5 stars (dice).
