Kanaan & Ævestaden - NOR | Jansen Records
https://kanaanband.bandc.../album/langt-langt-vekkGenre: Experimental Fuzz Psychedelic Folk Rock
FFO: Motorpsycho, Kungens Man, Larkin Poe, Needlepoint
Two powerful young bands combine musical forces, with an altogether unique outcome. The psychedelic power trio Kanaan and the neo-folk innovators Ævestaden are both among norway’s busiest and most critically lauded bands.
With Langt, langt vekk (eng: far, far away) the two bands have created a singular album. Traditional Norwegian folk music and rock has been combined several times before, but nothing sounds like this. Kanaan contributes its members’ jazz/psych background, rooted in improvisation and jamming. Ævestaden’s modern folktronicautilizes several ancient traditional instruments, in addition to the incorporation of traditional Swedish folk music.
The result is something truly groundbreaking, in where both bands’ identities shines through.
Torsten Lang - DE

FFO: Elliot Smith, Townes van Zandt, Nick Drake
Torsten Lang is a musician, producer, and visual artist with a penchant for the strangely dark. While his bands such as Asthma Choir, Newmaker, Shathp, Excessive Visage, and Grimény operate at the intersection of experimental rock, avant-garde pop, and filmic aesthetics, his new solo record minimalistically focuses on vocals and acoustic guitar. The music toeing and untoeing the line between claustrophobic moods and openness.
