Highly recommended!
FarvΣl Falkenberg could be the soundtrack to rural anywhere,
but itÆs not.
The album from Stockholm-based composer, Erik Enocksson, has
all the ingredients of eerie, woodland-influenced sounds (see:
chiming bells, heavy organ use, perpetual dusk) as well as
enough ethereal vocals to bring rustic porch culture to
anyoneÆs mind. That being said, it is also an album with an
undeniable sense of ôhomeö.
Released by Kning Disk, a G÷teborg, Sweden based label which
specializes in limited edition releases by similarly inventive
composers, FarvΣl Falkenberg reverberates with the sounds of
small town Swedish life. Influenced by the coastal,
southwestern area of the country, the record has more than
enough woodsy magic to carry the listener well through the
finely crafted, brambly sounds and out to some porch in the
middle of nowhere with your father and a hunting rifle.
The soundtrack to the recent film by the same name, which has
been receiving numerous accolades both in Sweden and abroad,
FarvΣl Falkenberg is a compilation of ten tracks containing
songs recorded during the shooting of the film as well as
impressive, sweeping instrumental compositions added later in
EnockssonÆs apartment.
Complete with breezy, intermittent whistling and the sounds of
EnockssonÆs old pump organ wheezing in the background, FarvΣl
Falkenberg achieves many things at once. As often as the
tracks are hushed and deliberate, they are never begging for
climactic mood. No, quite the contrary ù having not only
created a lush record full of thick, backcountry piano and
raw, acoustic guitar waltzes, Enocksson has more importantly
produced an album that effortlessly translates the feeling of
isolation (both geographically and emotionally) in an
intensely personal way you donÆt often come across.
The first edition of this release also includes a special
bonus cd-r with additional music by the composer and pianist,
Josefin Gavie.
All music written, performed and recorded by E. Enocksson
(except where else noted).
