SPURV (NO)
Day 3
Spurv are Norway’s answer to “who can write the best post-rock album of the year?” question. Their latest album “Brefjære“ is simply too good for words, a masterclass in writing a post-rock epic via blissful harmonies, sprawling crescendos, and emotionally gripping climaxes. The album is completed by its ambitious narration, a mythic conversation between animal and natural spirits on the passage of time and the relationship between man and nature, all gorgeously voiced by a choir and two soloists.
It’s on this narration that “Brefjære“ is built on and then solidly branches out giving voice (and a loud one at that), to overarching themes of devastation and hope, sorrow and joy. Musically, this is gracefully orchestrated via gripping and captivating compositions resting on Spurv’s already sound post-rock foundations. Expanding on what we all knew and loved best, Spurv have developed into one of the most exciting voices in the European scene! We first had them over in 2017 and it’s a pleasure to welcome them back and see how much they’re grown since!
