Our Take

Oh, darling, must we talk about racoons? Well, if we must, let's dive into the wild world of Norwegian percussionist Erland Dahlen and his latest album, "Racoons." Yes, that's right, raccoons.

Dahlen's music is like a frenzied raccoon rummaging through your bins at midnight - chaotic, unpredictable, and oddly captivating. With a mix of percussion, synths, and otherworldly sounds, Dahlen creates a sonic landscape that is as bizarre as it is brilliant.

Tracks like "Trash Panda Boogie" and "Garbage Can Shuffle" are a whirlwind of off-kilter rhythms and unexpected twists, while "Midnight Mischief" and "Masked Bandit Boogaloo" delve into more experimental territory, with Dahlen's percussive skills shining through.

While some might find Dahlen's approach a bit too out-there, for those willing to embrace the madness, "Racoons" is a wild and wonderful journey into the unknown. So, put on your raccoon mask, grab a trash can lid, and prepare to be dazzled by Erland Dahlen's musical menagerie. Just try not to get rabies.

About the artist

Erland Dahlen

Oh, well if it isn't the one and only Erland Dahlen. This Norwegian percussion wizard has been drumming up a storm in the music scene for years now, and let me tell you, he's not showing any signs of slowing down. Dahlen's unique approach to rhythm is nothing short of mesmerizing. He's not your typical stick-and-snare kind of guy, oh no. This man can make a drum kit sing, dance, and probably even do the cha-cha if he wanted to. With influences ranging from jazz to electronic to traditional Scandinavian folk music, Dahlen's sound is as eclectic as it is infectious. It's like he's taken a musical melting pot and turned it into a sonic stew that's both comforting and adventurous at the same time. And let's not forget his live performances. Watching Dahlen behind a drum kit is like witnessing a mad scientist at work. He's all elbows and knees, pounding away with a ferocity that's equal parts controlled chaos and sheer brilliance. It's a sight to behold, trust me. Whether he's collaborating with avant-garde artists or creating his own solo projects, Erland Dahlen is a force to be reckoned with in the music world. So next time you're looking for something a little different to listen to, do yourself a favour and give this man's music a spin. You won't be disappointed, I promise.
