Review: Vilde Tuv - Truthbomb (self-released)
I don't know much about this artist, but it seems that Vilde Tuv has been making music for quite some time already, with success and glamour here and there (she is based in Norway).
And it's a shame I haven't heard of Vilde Tuv earlier, as this is one of the best releases I heard this year!
How to describe it? Well, it's hard to describe (and I'd invite the listeners to take a listen themselves).
It's not in one genre, Vilde Tuv instead combines dozens (or thousands) of different genres in these songs / tracks.
But unlike other "multi-genre" albums, it's not like there are a few tracks in this or that style... but all songs combine multiple approaches and styles as one! I am sure this literal "mixture" is hard to pull off, but she did it.
So some songs are more introspective / "world music"-like with traditional Norwegian folk elements... a few are quite catchy rocky-pop chansons... yet there is also speedcore, slowcore, techno, ambient... yes it's quite bold.
A flute is also featured in a lot of these songs, which is a rare instrumentation for electronic / techno-related music. Which I think is another big plus.
Listening suggestion: "How I'm here"
