I absolutely wore out Danish singer/songwriter Teitur Lassen's debut album Poetry & Aeroplanes. It may have been the most played album for me from my college days. In fact my wife and I had some of our best friends play one of the songs off the album for us in our wedding. That is how much this album meant to me. Well if you're like me, you waited for his follow-up with great anticipation, only to be disappointed when Stay Under the Stars finally released in the US in late 2006. With the troubles/breakup with Columbia [...]

Since his debut in 2003, Danish singer/songwriter Teitur Lassen has quietly made a name for himself throughout Europe, garnering strong reviews, awards and airplay. A tireless and engaging performer, the Faroe Islands native has shared the stage with the likes of Aimee Mann and John Mayer (who called his '03 debut album "one of the best albums to come around in the last five years") and developed a growing cult of American fans. Let the [...]

Despite a somewhat peculiar lack of snow so far this December, I went ahead tonight and made myself a White Russian and felt very mysterious (like the kind of girl who makes herself White Russians on a quiet Sunday evening) and sifted through my favorite seasonal music by the twinkling tree for this year's Christmasy/wintry mix. As I say every year, and as we are reminded in every lonely drugstore and crowded mall, there is a colossal amount of craptastic holiday music that should never be played again, ever. Synthesizers, no. Chipmunks, no. Every year I wonder if [...]

Οι ποδοσφαιρόφιλοι μαθαίνουν Γεωγραφία από τους αγώνες της ομάδας τους και τα πρωταθλήματα. Οι γκουρμέ ακολουθώντας τους διάσημους σεφ. Οι φίλοι της μουσικής από τα μεγάλα φεστιβάλ -πάνε δεν πάνε- και το διαδίκτυο. Μετά τους Efterklang , Canon Blue και τους Kissaway Trail έχω την αίσθηση ότι πνέει άνεμος εκ Δανίας ισχυρός. Λες να πέσανε τίποτα επιχορηγήσεις τελευταία; Slaraffenland , Northern Portrait , Teitur ... τη γλώσσα αποκλείεται να τη μάθουμε, είναι από τις πιο δύσκολες. [...]

This time last year The Pop Cop came up with an ingenious idea . Having noticed how outrageously attractive the Glasgow gig calendar was in the month of October, we appealed directly to the Lord Provost to declare 'Rocktoberfest' the official catch-all name for 31 days of live music in the city. We mapped out one amazing show per day - from pop and soul to rock 'n' roll, from hot newcomers to world conquerors, but despite doing all the hard work for him, the Lord Provost decided not to take us up on our [...]

They say one is the loneliest number, but they sure have written a ton of songs about it (including that classic tune of the same name, that you won't find here, because I don't like it). The best one has to be Okkervil River's 'Plus Ones', in which Will Sheff cleverly references a bunch of well known songs, adding 'one' each time to create his own version. No one wants to hear about your 97th tear... And no one wants a tune about the 100th luftballoon... [...]
Există nenumărate dueturi în muzică, dar puţine îs foarte reuşite. Voci care puse una lângă cealaltă sună de parcă există ca să cânte împreună pe aceeaşi piesă. Sau cel puţin asta o fost impesia mea când am auzit câteva melodii. Aşa că le-am adunat pe toate într-un playlist/compilaţie să le împart cu lumea. Audiţie plăcută! he plus she equals harmony The National feat. St. Vincent - Sleep All Summer [...]
Okej, Danmark vann rättvist. Eller jag tror i alla fall det, missade nämligen straffet, målet och en hel del annat i inledningen av matchen på grund av en bar som "hade kanalen igår ju". VM utan Sverige ser det ju ut att bli. Vafan, ska man hålla på Danmark då eller?

Well well well, Saturday was what I think can only be described as a truly epic party. It started at about two or three in the afternoon when Found came round to record their Toad Session, which sounded absolutely lovely, continued into the back garden for a barbecue, turned into the Honeytrap Toad Session, repaired once more to the garden for further gluttony, returned to the house once night had descended, then turned into some sort of deranged music/cavorting session until the early hours accompanied by some truly heroic feats of drinking. Quite how the whole house didn't [...]

Όπως λέει και ο ίδιος πρέπει να δεις στο Google τα Νησιά Faroe (αυτόνομη περιοχή της Δανίας) για να καταλάβεις τη μουσική του. Ο Teitur, (προφέρεται "Τιιτουρ") λέει πως το μέρος είναι τόσο μικρό, ώστε οι γονείς μπορούν να παρακολουθούν τα παιδιά τους στο νερό ανά πάσα στιγμή. Άλλος ένας λόγος πάντως να πάρεις τον υποτονικό αυτό καλλιτέχνη στα σοβαρά, είναι ότι η πατρίδα του, για τους μουσικόφιλους, συναισθηματικά, αλλά και πραγματικά κατά κάποιο τρόπο αν τη δεις όντως στο χάρτη, είναι μεταξύ Σκωτίας και Ισλανδίας. Στη Σκωτία έχω πάει. Στα Νησιά [...]
Scandinavian singer/songwriter Teitur Lessen's latest provocative video is a track taken from his 2008 release The Singer, an album The Guardian UK declared "never less than extraordinary" while awarding it five stars. We like the near-creepy feel to the video, where Teitur takes the role of a bartender working in a strip club and falls hard for one of the dancers -- from a distance. Myspace Artist Site

here's a mix of songs perfect for a sunny sunday afternoon like this one (here in atlanta at least). ::: the don isaac ezekiel combination - amalinja* ::: doug martsch - offer ::: thistletown - rosemarie ::: school of language - rockist part 4 ::: cloudland canyon - dambala ::: teitur - your great book ::: the sahara all stars of jos - feso jaiye* ::: d_radio - papel soul ::: oh laura - black n' blue *both from this great compilation a friend sent me called "nigeria special: modern highlife, afro-sounds and nigerian [...]

Here's what you all (well, hopefully one or two of you) have been waiting for: the first Sarcasm And The City Playlist! I am by no means a cool indie kid, but if you are stuck in the pop/rock rut (and if you listen to mainstream radio, then you are), hopefully these songs will help you put down your new Fray CD for a few hours. I If you want to download the MP3's of these songs for FREE, simply sign up [...]

Originario de las Islas Feroe y ahora afincado en Uk, después de años viviendo en Copenhagen, Teitur Larssen es uno de esos artistas que uno no entiende porqué permanecen siendo auténticos desconocidos. A pesar de ello, sus discos siempre han sido excelentemente recibidos por la crítica y goza de una notable reputación en Estados Unidos, donde ha dado cientos de conciertos y ha sido telonero de gente como Suzanne Vega o John Mayer, quien se confiesa gran admirador suyo. Acaba de editar en el Reino Unido "The Singer", que representa su debut en las islas, pero es [...]
Teitur's debut album Poetry & Aeroplanes has been a staple of mine for many years now, and after completely skipping his second album for fear of ruining the image I had created for him, hearing his third album was somewhat of a shock. Now, it's not that I mean that in a bad way; The Singer (an apt title, I think) certainly is a change of pace from the acoustic softness of Poetry & Aeroplanes,
