LEGAO (VINYL)

A laid back, everyday vibe runs through Erlend Oye's music, Erlend is not larger than life, at the most his songs may be, The pop star from next-door doesn't make any drama, but leaves that to life itself, His relaxed, laid back sound opens your eyes and ears for places, situations and encounters, A certain mournfulness runs through the songs, although they deal with a longing for self-fulfilment, Erlend sings of loneliness, and in doing so, he creates a 'we'.


Until now Erlend's projects have often been based on simple concepts'two guitars and two vocals with Kings of Convenience, and four instruments with The Whitest Boy Alive, With his new solo album he frees himself of these parameters; for the first time everything is possible, for the first time Erlend Oye stands alone, The songs on 'Legao' were arranged and recorded with the Icelandic reggae band Hjalmar (who also feat, two band members from Asgeir).
