Stadsbilder on Headphone Commute
The album traverses these visions in a beautiful, tension-filled, cinematic score. Those familiar with works by Lindhagen [see Headphone Commute’s review of Paces from 2017], and the many sonic towers of Rosenqvist [almost too many to list, but definitely check out elephant and Vowels], as well as his collaboration with Aaron Martin as From The Mouth Of The Sun, will without a doubt appreciate the landscape painted by these two composers. Expect nothing less than slow-building dynamics, soul-aching piano, and heart-wrenching tones. Thick smudges of textures blend with the layers of organic and electronic, weaving in plucked and bowed instruments, heavenly cello (played by Sebastian Selke of CEEYS) and vintage analogue synthesizers. All this, and more, can be daydreamed within.
