Today's Subjects: ----------------- Farao ["A." ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2015 22:21:38 +0200 From: "A." Subject: Farao Farao is London-based Norwegian Kari Jahnsen, previously of Like Spinning, Hella Better Dancer. She has just released her full-length debut Till It's All Forgotten. She'd recorded it last year in Iceland, playing all instruments but the horns and drums herself. It definitely has that Nordic singer-songwriter vibe at the core but the drums and keyboards and horns make it sound quite unusual. My current favourite is "Warriors" which reminds me of aerial shots of snowy mountains for some reason. Warriors: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IUZgU3Qzso Full album is available to stream on her Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/faraomusic/sets/till-its-all-forgottennnn I was also a fan of her self-titled EP that came out early last year. The production is rawer and less dense on that one than on the album. The gorgeous closer "To Sleep Apart" is a sure tearjerker for me nearly every time.
