Following the release of the gorgeous and shimmering ‘Beveg‘ back in February, Geir Sundstøl now unveils the moody and evocative ‘Broder’, the final taste from his upcoming album, Sakte Film. Marking his tenth year as a solo artist and his sixth album with the label, the upcoming Sakte Film is another dive into Sundstøl’s rich sonic world, that is as hard to pigeonhole as it is easy to get lost in. Geir comments:
“It struck me that categorizing this music is tricky—if not downright impossible. If that’s the case, then I’ve achieved what I wanted.”
As with much of his work, ‘Broder’ also resists easy categorization, drifting between cinematic folk, ambient textures, and gentle experimentalism. Sundstøl, who played all the instruments himself, had this say about it:
“I play everything here: pedal steel, Minimoog, Juno-6, Casio organ, timpani, harmonica, food processor, garage, and tubular bells. It sounds a bit like Tangerine Dream with a nod to the harmonica in “Flåklypa” (nostalgic and whimsical soundtrack from a famous Norwegian childrens movie). This melody was originally created for a podcast in 2018.”
Listen to ‘Broder’ below and grab the album when it drops on May 23rd through Hubro.
