Erik Enocksson
Farväl Falkenberg
Kning Disk
Erik Enocksson has masterfully crafted a dark, melancholy, beautiful and still uplifting soundtrack to the critically acclaimed "Farväl Falkenberg". Ten slow, meandering tracks of droning strings, creaking wood, plucked guitar strings and piano. This is an album of music powerful enough to shake you even if you've never heard of the movie for which it was written and, while it does capture the heart and soul of the movie, it is easily able to stand on its own legs. From the whistles and handclaps of the opening "The joy of D. H. Lawrence" to the closing lullaby "The lingering procession", it is a touching, sombre and comforting. Easily one of my favourite albums of the year.
