Swedish electronic duo Gidge (consisting of Ludvig Stolterman and Jonatan Nilsson) will release their superb debut album, ‘Autumn Bells’, on 23rd September.
We listened to Norrland – the last track on Autumn Bells:
Echoing horns slide out of a woodland glade, like butter easing from a churn.
There is something slightly ornithological about the sounds – as if they are calling one another. Then the hazelnut pace begins with a tidy beat.
A small clearing in the forest is located. This place is damp and mossy.
A place where the sun shines through in dappled rays.
The synth sounds here are woodchip cut and seem very precise.
Like goldrays that beam through the webs and deep into the heart-oak.
But sneezing horns are never far away.
There are signs that the music of the forest will come alive without you or me around to conduct the majesty.
This is probably the most inventive piece we’ve heard in a long time.
