Bedehus & Hawaii

Released

This quintet’s debut gets into territory you might also know from the first Tortoise album, Tom Verlaine’s Warm and Cool, Pell Mell, Ry Cooder, and Suss: sliding steel strings and big open spaces. People also cite Morricone but that’s much tighter stuff. This is ecstatically relaxed and elegant stuff, harmonics and finger-squeaks and quiet strums all banging up in muffled communion. A trans-Atlantic love letter from Norway to the tremolo-d out American nowhere soundtrack.
