Twice A Man - From A Northern Shore
Review by Rusty Sullivan
Twice A Man's latest album, From A Northern Shore, is a captivating and atmospheric journey through electronic soundscapes. The Swedish duo, consisting of Dan Söderqvist and Karl Gasleben, have been making music since the early 1980s and their experience shows in the polished production and intricate arrangements of this album.
The opening track, "A Letter", sets the tone with its haunting melody and ethereal vocals. The album continues to weave together elements of ambient, synth-pop, and experimental electronic music in a way that is both cohesive and diverse. Each song has its own unique character, from the pulsing rhythms of "High In The Clouds" to the dreamy ambiance of "The Sound Of A Mind".
One standout track is "The Great Divide", which features guest vocals from Swedish singer-songwriter Anna Öberg. Her voice blends seamlessly with the atmospheric instrumentation, creating a mesmerizing and emotional piece of music. "The Great Divide" is a prime example of the album's ability to evoke a range of emotions through its soundscapes.
