The Island (2009)

"A perfect soundtrack for the darkness of the world."

TIGERNET.NO

"Sounding like it was recorded in some remote Scandinavian cabin using the lowest-tech gear possible, Lars Myrvoll's The Island nonetheless seduces with its mystical charm and pretty folk waltzes.................Tailor-made for lovers of Björn Olsson, Bo Hanson, and Popol Vuh, Myrvoll's music is just as “out-of-time”—in other words, always “in time” and never “out-of-date.”"

TEXTURA.ORG

Brist (2006)

"It would be natural to compare this to Fennesz or Oval - sentimental and free electronica with a human and emotional touch. The contrast between the long vibrations in the background and the sparkling surface of glitch and aural glimpses, flows like the light and shadows of a shiny day in May. Organic matter meets the artificial - a acoustical guitar attacked by melodic saccharin."

Christian Evensen/HISSIG.NO

B/P (2006)

"A self-described “deconstruction rock trio”, Norway’s Brotthaest/Pany live up to the billing. The guys on electric guitars and drums wander around, making sounds not noticeably related to any of the other sounds being produced at the same time. They also leave big nearly-empty spaces with only the bare minimum of activity. It’s kind of like if you recorded your rock band in rehearsal and you kept only the parts between the actual songs, when half the band is noodling and checking their instruments, and the other half of the band is off smoking cigarettes and finishing their sandwiches. A musical version of the negative space concept and OK with me."
