Long time no post, but here's something really good, and totally underratet, and to most, unknown.
I've been looking for it myself for a long time, and finally found it in a recordstore. Before I've just been listening to the vinyl version at work, where it somehow wound up...
But enough talking around, here's
Edmund Oak - Queen Odea Escapes
http://www.mediafire.com/?dy7ldgt7axhmfjp
This is dark, gloomy indie, and very very good. Recorded inside a church in Copenhagen.
No english reviews to be found, but here's a description I found on Tokyo Gig Guide.
Edmund Oak from Denmark is formed around composer and singer Jonatan Bengta and follows in the singer/songwriter tradition of folk music, but also takes inspiration from Chet Baker, Ethiopian jazz and experimental genres.
Debut album "Queen Odea Escapes" was recorded late at night over a 12 months period in one of the most famous churches in Copenhagen and released by Minimum Records in 2008.
As one of the most unique Danish records in 2008, it combines melody and beautiful atmosphere, with unusual instrumentation such as cello, bells, gongs, Hawaii-guitars and choir.
