With the not so small matter of another small person that looks like us entering our lives I have had to put off writing here for a bit. Building up quite a stock of tunes mind you for the eventual return. In the meantime I just couldn’t stop myself from posting this one from Bergen’s Aurora Aksnes. There may be some flitting reminders of Bjork, especially because ‘Under Stars’ is from start to finish a wide-eyed ode to wonder and possibility, but this is an especially contemporary stab at ethereal genius from yesteryear. There is bubbling electronica thoughout and a thunderous percussive undercarriage yet it is Aksnes’ swooping vocals that will take your breath away. 2015 is hers for the taking if she just takes her head out of those damn clouds.
