Darling West :: Live 2020

by
Nadat Lucinda Williams het Noorse Darling West live had gezien, noemde ze hun muziek ‘kosmische folk’. Aaron Lee Tasjan schreef een nummer met ze. Kortom, Darling West heeft fans die er toe doen. De groep is vooral het echtpaar Mari en Tor Egil Kreken, dat zich nadrukkelijk laat inspireren door Americana. Je hoort de bewondering voor Gillian Welch en Dave Rawlings, maar ook de liefde voor de muziek van Fleetwood Mac. Tijdens de herfst van vorig jaar deden ze wat optredens, vanwege corona voor een beperkt publiek, in Oslo en Stavanger. De hoogtepunten daarvan zijn verzameld op Live 2020. Tien sterke eigen nummers, een voortreffelijke band, de hemelse stem van Mari; muziek van een bovenaardse en tijdloze schoonheid.

Cosmic folk. That’s the term Lucinda Williams put on Darling West after sharing the stage with the Norwegian duo a few years back. An appropriate term, even though their new material also leans into sunny West Coast landscapes. On “We’ll Never Know Unless We Try” the band serve up top-down-wind-in-the-hair pop songs along with tear-jerker ballads. With all the time spent and invested in the US the last three years, it just seems logical that the one and only Aaron Lee Tasjan has co-written one of the songs. Main band members Mari and Tor Egil say on the process: “After two years of intense touring, and meeting tons of people, we are left with a feeling that there are many good forces at work in the world, even though the state of things can sometimes seem hopeless. Even though it wasn’t a planned theme in the songwriting process, we seem to have been inspired by this, and that hope and encouragement has become a common thread in our lyrical universe this time around.”
