Our Take

Norwegian duo Jo Berger Myhre and Olafur Bjorn Olafsson transport listeners to the tranquil landscapes of Lanzarote with their latest album, appropriately titled "Lanzarote." Combining Myhre's background in jazz and experimental music with Olafsson's expertise in electronica, the result is a sonic journey that is both mesmerizing and thought-provoking.

From the opening track "Timanfaya" with its pulsating rhythms and haunting melodies, to the ethereal tones of "Playa Quemada," each song on this album feels like a sonic exploration of the island's unique terrain. The duo masterfully blend organic instrumentation with electronic elements, creating a sound that is at once familiar and otherworldly.

Tracks like "Cueva de los Verdes" showcase Myhre and Olafsson's technical prowess, with intricate guitar work and glitchy beats that create a sense of unease and mystery. Meanwhile, songs like "Parque Nacional" offer moments of pure tranquility, with lush ambient textures that envelop the listener in a sonic cocoon.

"Lanzarote" is a testament to the power of collaboration and experimentation, with Myhre and Olafsson pushing the boundaries of genre and sound. This album is a must-listen for anyone looking to escape the ordinary and immerse themselves in a world of sonic wonder.
