The debut album from this Oslo
based band is shimmering, ethereal, warm flowing, smooth electro rock, that is
somewhat haunting and dark. They write about events such as shipwrecks, people
like widows, and ghosts, but in a way that is also hopeful.
The band recorded their album in a lighthouse, amid
gale force winds, fierce storms, and tremendous waves. That made them think of
what Norway was before the country prospered, and of companionship, which is
why the band sounds so hopeful, and why their music sounds so comforting. A very good debut, one that should establish
them in a big way in the US, especially since they are performing at SXSW. I wish them much luck and success with
this album that has much charm and wisdom. They show no fear in the face of
overwhelming odds, man-made or nature based.
