More Info:
Debut album from Norwegian singer/songwriter / multi-instrumentalist Silje Nes. 'Ames Room' announces the emergence of a hugely talented and distinctive young artist. Whilst creating a sound-world entirely her own, 'Ames Room' shows a similar single-mindedness and adventurousness to peers such as TUJIKO NORIKO or BJORK or as well as the homespun beauty of bands such as THE PASTELS, PRAM, or COLEN. Broad ranging and full of character, the album moves from languid dream-pop to stomping, upbeat tracks, to more introspective or abstract numbers. With sparkling melodies at times exuding a music-box sweetness, spindly electronics weave around a vast array of instruments including cello, electronics, drums, guitar, bass, keyboards, recorder, glockenspiel, xylophone, melodica, and trumpet, as well as percussion played on all manner of found objects.
