certainly can not say that the name of Stina Stjern is particularly well known in the Scandinavian indie scene. Yet the Norwegian musician can boast of a biography of several paragraphs long: it started as a teenager with Quintrophenia, then moved to the riot-girls Supervixen, then moved to Copenhagen where he started all over again, and then flew overseas implanted a long creative break in a loft in Brooklyn before returning to Oslo in the recording studio . Days Like Waves is the evocative title of his solo debut, and there is no doubt that is one way to describe so well for the performance of his album wavering as the undertow that characterizes many electro-acoustic pieces. Go beyond the mists of rarefied Strings, is the second track, Tuning that things get really interesting: the sweetness of the melody and sing-song sound wall on which floats the voice of Stina can not remember My Bloody Valentine, so closely that it seems that suddenly the twenty (twenty!) that separate us from Loveless have never really gone (probably you will want to remove the dust disks and Kevin Shields Slowdive you've forgotten on the bottom shelf of a few ...). The rest of the album continues through delicate ballads and measured dilated lyrical singer-songwriter a la Mazzy Star ( Cry, Cheers ) and moved more times, played deftly balanced between honey and dissonances ( Stars, Dance ), which are not far from songwriters looking for artists like Laura Veirs and Shannon Wrigth, with two peaks apparent in the bright and happy (very Belle & Sebastian) and the graceful and gracious Songs growing soft sound (reverb and theremin threatened by) the next Door . Overall Days Like Waves is a really nice and interesting album, which indicated that Stjern songwriter as talented and have distinctive and recognizable style.
