So this is my new favorite Sunday morning album. It's great for any time of day, any day of the week, but especially then I guess. Silje Nes is a really really pretty Norwegian girl, and this album is full of beautiful melodies delivered in her sexy dreamy whispering voice, with a lot of gently strummed guitars, chill electronics, and a giant list of bizarre and obscure instruments. This is really some amazing stuff. On every track, she creates a musical fabric that is so lovingly crafted and delicate to the point that every time a new instrument enters the mix, it truly is a special moment. The entire album is just super well put together and every sound and note serves a very specific and magical purpose. A lot of these songs are basically bedroom pop I guess, but I think experimental composition is probably closer to the mark. The first track, 'Over All', is a great example. The song is basically a chill little folk pop tune, but on a closer listen, you'll notice that it's full of surprising dissonances and its just really strange music over all. Or if you want youre daily dose of fairy dreamland jangly indie pop, check out 'Dizzy Street'. It's such a cool listen. If you're into bands like Mum, or any sort of folk pop electronic experimental music, this is definitely worth your while. check it OWT
