Description:
≡ "Through the course of ten years, Faroese singer-songwriter Teitur has proven himself a solid writer and singer whose ability to constantly create a shift in his music makes any new album a curiosity. Story Music is an elegant and warm addition to his catalogue created in a new studio on the Faroe Islands with the help of 60 local musicians aged 9-86.
≡ Story Music does live up to its name: the 10 tracks tell 10 different stories of hope, hard work, rock music history etc. Some do so with more success than others and each with no clear contribution to the overall story — the entirety of the album."
REVIEW
Anmeldt af Michael Jose Gonzalez | Score: ****
≡ Elegant og rigt facetteret sjette album fra den færøske trubadur.
≡ Sjette album fra Teitur er indspillet i en gammel isfabrik på Færøerne, men der er absolut intet koldt over Story Music, der byder på en bred vifte af musikalske udtryk fra det minimalistiske til de mere omfattende musikalske landskabsmalerier, hvor den store palet er taget i brug. Det giver i alt ti varierede musikalske fortællinger, der samles i én charmerende størrelse med absolut stilig instrumentalisering, som blandt andet tæller fløjte, banjo og violin.
≡ Vi kommer igennem pudsige stunder som arbejdshymnen Hard Work med sine xylofoner og børnekor, over det noget fortænkte, der findes i de mange akavede pauser i den svært fordøjelige If You Wait, som også kammer en kende over i sin tilstræbte naivitet, til det dragende melankolske, der smukt kanaliseres i den flot tangentdrevne Hopeful.
≡ Der er også mere rendyrkede popsange som den melodiske perle Indie Girl at finde på Story Music, hvor også Stones-stikpillen Rock And Roll Band stikker positivt ud. Der er masser at gå på opdagelse i det rigt varierede album, som bindes sammen af en varmt og organisk lyd, der også får lytteren igennem en kuriositet som Monday, der er mere spændende end egentlig god, men på Story Music er der tydeligvis plads til alle slags historier. Hatten af for det. (http://gaffa.dk/)
