Norwegian songstress Ane Brun is known for her sophisticated takes on alternative folk, which can range from ethereal ballads to rambunctious stomps. It's taken a while for Brun to release a follow-up to 20082s "Sketches," but the first two singles from "It All Starts With One" already tell us that time was not wasted. The lush elements of her songwriting have grown richer and her storytelling is more poignant than ever. Teaming up with her good friend and director Magnus Renfors, a short film of the same name has slowly been distributed since 2011. "Do You Remember," [...]
Slow stirring acoustic waves trickle into the sombre and stern vocals of Jose Gonzales, before the sauntering Scandinavian, Ane Brun supplies some brooding clarity, ‘Worship’. Chilling, chiming percussion punctuates this delving folk, gospel and low-key indie stirring sojourn. A poetic, lyrical edge makes the song mean something to those with a tender disposition: “My heartbeats can be your silver lining; just listen to them.” The ‘Henrik Schwarz Remix’, adds a fuzzy digital toe to contrast with the searching vocals. It gives a [...]

Seth A Yo La Tengo show can be a pretty variable thing - even without taking into account the spinning wheel of randomness that dictated the course of their recent tours - seemingly depending on how the band is feeling and regardless of what record they have to promote. I've seen them play ultra-extended and often tedious versions of the likes of "Blue Line Swinger" and "Nuclear War", usually when it seems Ira isn't in the best mood and might even be taking it out on the audience, and also seen nearly transcendent sets that [...]

Oh the quivers! Ane Brun's voice is famous for being a vibrating tenor; a sweet shaking thing, always surrounded by large orchestral movements and empty space for the echoes. The Swedish balloon ranger has recorded eight albums since 2003, including her newest, It All Starts With One. But for the majority of the most recent, [...]

"Worship" is the second chapter released from a short film based to music from Ane Brun’s album "It all starts with One", the film that houses no fewer than four orchestrated songs will be premiered in spring 2012. The Director for the whole project, Ane’s long-standing video director Magnus Renfors, says of the venture: "Ane's music is like a great ocean housed under the roof of a great old theater, where pictures are hung from the threads of the music shooting out, so it really does the job itself. That said, [...]

Ah, here's a name from the past. I wrote about Ane Brun way back in 2008, when she released the stunning Changing of the Seasons. The Norwegian-based Brun crafts striking alternative-folk, alternating between slow-moving acoustic ballads with sullen strings and raucously infectious stomps. She has the poetic patience of an artist like Kate Bush, with the tactful
