Our Take

Tally-ho, chaps and chapettes! Today we're dipping our toes into the sonic wonders of the brilliant Stein Urheim and his latest offering, "Downhill Upliftin."

Mixing a jolly-good blend of folk, jazz, and experimental vibes, Urheim takes us on a musical journey that's as thrilling as a wild ride on the Tube during rush hour. The album's title track, "Downhill Upliftin," is a sonic rollercoaster that'll have you gripping your earphones for dear life, with its off-kilter rhythms and mind-bending instrumentation.

Urheim's guitar work is simply smashing, weaving intricate melodies that'll have you nodding your head like a Churchill bobblehead. Tracks like "Telespringar" and "Gikling" showcase his prowess as a guitarist, with nimble fingers dancing across the fretboard like a professional cricket player at bat.

But it's not all high-energy shenanigans on "Downhill Upliftin." Tracks like "Kan" and "Hegre" offer moments of respite, with dreamy textures and hazy atmospheres that'll have you feeling as relaxed as a cup of Earl Grey on a Sunday afternoon.

So grab yourself a cuppa, put on your best tweed jacket, and let Stein Urheim whisk you away on a musical escapade that's as charming as a rainy day in London. "Downhill Upliftin" is a delightful romp through the idyllic countryside of folk and jazz, with plenty of surprises hidden around every corner. Cheerio!
