Our Take
Our Take
Erland Dahlen's latest album "Racoons" is a sonic rollercoaster of avant-garde experimentation that is as unpredictable as it is captivating. The Norwegian percussionist, known for his work with artists like Nils Petter Molvær and Arve Henriksen, brings his signature ingenuity to this solo project.
From the outset, Dahlen throws the listener into a whirlwind of eclectic rhythms and unexpected twists. Tracks like "Trash Can Nachos" and "Bin Night Boogie" showcase Dahlen's ability to transform everyday sounds into musical gold. The use of unconventional instruments, such as kitchen utensils and car parts, adds an element of whimsy to the record.
But don't be fooled by the album's playful exterior - beneath the surface lies a depth and complexity that is truly mesmerizing. The haunting beauty of tracks like "Midnight Mischief" and "Moonlit Dumpster Dive" demonstrate Dahlen's prowess as a composer, weaving a tapestry of sound that is as haunting as it is beautiful.
Overall, "Racoons" is a testament to Erland Dahlen's boundless creativity and musical vision. Whether you're a fan of experimental music or simply looking for something fresh and exciting, this album is a must-listen. Dahlen has once again proven himself to be a master of his craft, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of music.

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.
