Иногда мне кажется, что есть какая-то музыка лучше, чем мелодичный фолк, который поют девушки под гитару, но потом всё встаёт на свои места. Во Франции норвежская красавица Silje Nes исполнила две песни – «Crystals» и «Hello Luminance». Я так и не смог выбрать, какую из них включать в пост, поэтому кинул монетку.
In advance of next month's short European tour (confirmed dates after the break), Berlin-based Norwegian Silje Nes has released a great new video. Created in the unusual portrait format, it was... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
В преддверии европейского тура норвежская исполнительница Silje Nes выпустила видео, снятое в необычном портретном формате. За 24 часа Blank Blank подготовил этот видеоряд к фестивалю «GO WITH THE FLØ». Замечательно снятая, эта работа показывает ту Норвегию, что располагается вдали от городов и смену обстановки, сопровождающуюс я новой абстрактной музыкальной композицией.

Christos is out of town, you know what that means: much shorter posts from me. Sorry guys, all I can offer you is less songs and less spelling mistakes. Well, to try and make up for it, here's a trick I verified during my recent trip to Vegas, use a Visa gift card on an airplane. No seriously, do it, you'll get free drinks as long as that gift card has less money on it than the things you buy! Silje Nes - Branches (Thunderlust Remix) TWERKSHOP/R.Kelly/Rick Ross [...]

[ download ] [tweetmeme] Silje Nes grew up in a small town on Sognefjord (the largest fjord in Norway) before moving on to the larger city of Bergen and eventually Berlin, where she now lives. You can take the girl out of the fjord, but you can't take the fjord out of the girl; although she may reside in the biggest city in Europe, Nes' music still possesses a rustic, fairy tale air calling to mind rural northern nights under the Aurora Borealis. "The Glass Harp" - a track [...]
Silje Nes , a beautiful, multi talented Norwegian from a tiny town tucked amidst a fjord, has returned with another album after a two year hiatus. Though a classically trained pianist, for Opticks , Nes initially began recording with instruments she was before unfamiliar with, opting instead for a particular sound she liked over technical ability. The result is a layered, amalgam of sounds that bleed together into melodies, all tied together by Nes' somewhat haunting voice. The most impressive aspect of this album is the fact that Nes is unafraid to part with [...]

Silje nes - Branches Silje nes från Norge har säkerligen varit i Sverige flera gånger, åtminstone på Way Out West för två år sedan. I september släpptes i alla fall skivan Opticks där denna finstämda och akustiska låt finns. Förutom att den spröda rösten är ett givet fokus är det de oansträngda gitarrspelandet och de dunkla trumslagen som driver hela låten tillsammans. Och något som liknar ljudet av en vind i bakgrunden, tillsammans med ytterliga små ljud vilka är som tagna från naturen.
