Skogslandskap

by Vàli

supported by

Alrihkh Like a peaceful, healing dream—a magical effleurage for one’s spirit. A visit to when times were simpler and the joy of wonder was free of the current cares of the world. This is great for the soul, the heart, & the mind. Allow yourself to be held in its warm, comforting embrace. A well-advised escape. “Take a hike,” I say, if I may be so bold. FFO Imbaru & the like. 8.5+/10. Favorite track: Dystre Naturbilder.

Emery Tender, nostalgic, and hopeful. Like taking a morning walk through familiar woods. Wonderful. Favorite track: Dystre Naturbilder.

osv Such a great album. Take a long walk though the forest and listen to this to bring peace to mind. Favorite track: Gjemt Under Grener.

about

The new masterpiece of nature-romantic acoustic music

Vàli is one of the best-kept secrets among lovers of nature-related acoustic music. The Norwegian one-man project's debut album, "Forlatt," was already released back in 2004 in a limited edition that was quickly sold out. Word got out rapidly among connoisseurs of the genre that this was an album that was a match for genre classics such as "Kveldssanger" by Ulver or "Where At Night The Wood Grouse Plays" by Empyrium. It took six years until their next sign of life: two songs on the 2010 compilation "Whom The Moon A Nightsong Sings." Now, finally, their eagerly anticipated sophomore "Skogslandskap" (english: "Wooded Landscape") is ready for release. In the world of Vàli, time seems to go by much slower than in ours.

This impression is confirmed when listening to "Skogslandskap" which seamlessly picks up where "Forlatt" left off, enchanting you with its timeless simplicity and elegance. Fragile compositions for acoustic guitars are still very much at the centre of Vàli's music. These are augmented by yearning string arrangements, pastoral flute melodies, and accentuated piano sounds. Each of these tone colours is used in a pointed and appropriate manner to take the album's basic idea into account: "Skogslandskap" is conceived as a journey through a Norwegian wood in the autumn, beginning at dusk and ending at dawn, a journey revealing the peace and beauty of virgin nature.

about

Vàli Norway

The Norwegian musician has signed a five-albums contract with Auerbach. What is it that not just fans of folk music may look forward to? So far, reviewers have often referred to Ulver's pivotal album "Kveldssanger" -- not just because of a musical proximity, but rather because of the profound beauty of the songs that have mainly been created with acoustic guitar and cello. ... more
