Lilja Ingolfsdottir’s “Loveable” won big on Saturday night at the Amanda Awards, Norway’s national movie prizes, ultimately picking up four plaudits, including best Norwegian film.

The film, which premiered at Karlovy Vary, has been praised at international festivals for its observant portrayal of a relationship going sour.

“There are thousands of traditional love stories about couples,” said Ingolfsdottir. “We have high divorce rates, but before a person leaves, something must have happened. What is that? We have such a hard time trying to connect,” she told Variety.

Helga Guren – cast as Maria, who is shocked to discover her husband wants a divorce – was awarded the prize for best actor in a leading role. It was Guren’s first Amanda win.

“I just wanted to have a flawed, multilayered female character who is a human being like all of us. She’s empowering herself by looking at her dysfunctionality...

The Avett Brothers have announced their first new album in five years. The self-titled LP, produced by Rick Rubin, arrives on May 17th via Ramseur Records/American Recordings/Thirty Tigers. As a preview, the band has unveiled the lead single, “Love of A Girl.”

There’s a hopeful, free, careless energy to “Love of a Girl,” which capitalizes on the band’s ability to mesh their folks roots with rock elements and pop catchiness. The grounded lyrics focus on finding meaning in even the most everyday elements, like a store-bought bouquet of flowers, coffee cups, school buses, and the first introduction to heartbreak.

The forthcoming record was recorded primarily in Malibu’s Shangri-La Studios, with additional recording done in Nashville, Mar Vista, and the band’s hometown of Concord, North Carolina.
