That feeling when you slowly start to piece together/understand lines from a song in your target language. That “oh shit wait I get it now” moment

I was searching for "stop [something something]" on Spotify and then this came up. bringing back memories of childhood.

"Stop! (Do) not Bully" / "Stop! do not bully anyone" / "stop! bullyn't". (sorry I'm trying to be truthful to the linguistical features, the second is the most valid English sentence, but it implies more than the actual one)

194: Stian Westerhus // The Matriarch and the Wrong Kind of Flowers

The Matriarch and the Wrong Kind of Flowers Stian Westerhus 2012, Rune Grammofon

In 1926, the Norwegian artist Emanuel Vigeland began construction on a building in Oslo intended to serve as a future museum for his paintings and sculptures. By the 1940s, he’d decided it would also serve as his mausoleum, and had the windows of its main hall bricked in. The hall, where his ashes now reside in an ornate urn above the entrance door, is covered in vast frescoes depicting the forces of life and death. Illumination in the mausoleum is held to the dimness of candlelight, allowing details of the frescoes to gradually reveal themselves as the eye acclimates to the darkness: legions of couples copulating in every imaginable array; a squalling newborn cradled in the bony palms of Death; a skeletal pair in mid-coitus, who produce a column of smoke in which infant children can be seen floating. One drawing bears a small note from the artist: “When you see a naked human body and are vexed at what you see, then reproach God for what He has created, if you dare."

Vigeland's urn and fresco detail.

I mention all this not only because I have an intense desire to talk about sexy skeletons, but because a small note on the back cover of guitarist Stian Westerhus’s The Matriarch and the Wrong Kind of Flowers indicates that portions of the album were recorded in the mausoleum. Westerhus has collaborated extensively with artists like Sidsel Endresen, Ulver, and Jaga Jazzist, but this is a truly solo work: austere, darkly-hued electroacoustic music that at times is nearly unrecognizable as originating from a guitar thanks to the artist’s legions of pedals and punishing digital processing. Westerhus would’ve sought the mausoleum not only for its sympathetic mood, but also its unique acoustics: according to the museum’s caretakers, the sound of a single footstep in the stone hall will echo for 14 seconds.

When I saw Westerhus in a small room nearly ten years ago, I recall his set being intense, loud to the lip of discomfort, and that he would’ve been visually well-cast as a darkwave boatman Charon. On this immaculately mixed and recorded LP, it’s easier to detect the nuances of his haunting compositions, which can hint at modern chamber music (as on “Guiding the Pain,” which has something of the flavour of Górecki to me), or flit between harsh noise and clean guitar. Making this kind of blackwork ambient music rise above the pleasures of a defective refrigerator motor requires a rare combination of discipline and instinct; like a lurking spider, Westerhus knows when to keep still, and when to move.

The Chronicles Of Father Robin – The Songs & Tales Of Airoea – Book 1 (2023)

V. Joyce looks at The Songs & Tales Of Airoea – Book 1, the new album from Norwegian prog rockers The Chronicles of Father Robin, released September 15th on The Old Oak Records and KARISMA RECORDS.

Fans of folk tales, intense keys, and hard hitting basslines rejoice! The Chronicles of Father Robin have released ‘The Songs and Tales of Airoea’, the first of their upcoming three part trilogy of albums, and it leaves us wanting nothing aside from the subsequent two releases. We dive into the mystical world of Father Robin, and traverse across the land of Airoea, through tales woven together by the influence of 1970’s – 1990’s sound, accented by rich vocal performances and the magic of mythology. This is a tale you do not want to miss.

Montasje - Europa, 1982 Montasje was a brief post-punk band formed by former members of the band Kjøtt. They released just one album, where they experimented with a more artistic form of their previous "pure" punk.

#norwegian post-punk! #theyre also described as art rock by norwegian media #but yeah.. wanted to share some good norwegian music here as well #we had a very lively punk and post-punk scene here as well #but it has been maybe overlooked a bit to make room for bigger more revolutionary music scenes like black metal and such #montasje #kjøtt #post-punk #1982 #norwegian music #norsk punk #pønk #post-pønk #presence! #Spotify

I know this isn't metal-related but this is just a wonderful piece, I really wanted to have it on here. Alexander is such a talented man.

"𝐈'𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞"

Lyrics:

Years ago, when I was younger I kinda liked a girl I knew She was mine and we were sweethearts That was then, but then it's true

I'm in love with a fairytale Even though it hurts 'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind I'm already cursed

Every day, we started fighting (tarara) Every night, we fell in love (tarara, tara, tarara) No one else could make me sadder (tarara) But no one else could lift me high above

I don't know what I was doing When suddenly, we fell apart Nowadays, I cannot find her But when I do, we'll get a brand-new start

I'm in love with a fairytale Even though it hurts 'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind I'm already cursed

She's a fairytale, yeah Even though it hurts 'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind I'm already cursed

Wednesday, May 31: Sirenia, “Nomadic”

Outside of Nightwish and Within Temptation, symphonic operatic goth metal didn’t really take off in a big way.  But it drew enough of a crowd that a whole bunch of bands not only sprouted up but stuck around, with Norway’s Sirenia now 11 albums deep.  “Nomadic” didn’t deviate from the rest of 1977, or pretty much anything else they’ve done, so it offered a representative example of both the band and their chosen subgenre: Emmanuelle Zoldan’s vocals were simultaneously haunting, melodramatic and cheesy, but they ably captured the mood Sirenia was going for, while the accompanying music had a representative balance of heaviness via power chords and moody bombast.  The primary distinction between “Nomadic” and more recent Nightwish would be a lack of concept and more generally down to earth approach, which for this particular sound was actually a bit refreshing.

Hey! haven’t used this place in a while and it still DESPERATELY needs a clean-up, but I figured now would be a good time to start posting things again. I released a new YouTube video the other day, looking at the staging of Melodi Grand Prix song Ekko Inni Meg. (Fingers crossed it gets the ticket to Eurovision!) I hope to make more videos like this, so go follow me on YouTube if you enjoyed!
