Norwegian musicians and innovators Malstrøm drop anthemic instrumental “Mare,” offering an enticing soundscape founded on strong electronic beats and smooth jazz. Framed by the delicate touch of saxophone and synths, the track is an atmospheric production that peaks and troughs with a frantic unpredictable offset by creative finesse.
Offering the first glimpse of their new album, the nu-jazz duo craft an intricate narrative that comes to life with the power of its soundscape. Upbeat yet foreboding, “Mare,” starts off slow and soft, the quietly upbeat groove getting progressively bolder with each note.
Formed by producers and composers Vetle Junker and Jonas Flemsæter Hamre, Malstrøm is a musical project made with purpose, boasting an eclectic musicality built with euphonic layers of synths and brass drawn upon elements of indie and electronica.
Experimental but still leaning comfortably into the duo’s penchant for nuanced productions that stand apart uniquely yet blend seamlessly into one, the track is an indication of the pair’s ability to make music that feels familiar yet surprise us with bursts of something fresh.
Lyrics are not always necessary to tell a story that captures your attention and these music connoisseurs are proof of this fact as their music paints a vivid musical landscape, packed with lush narratives in every note of the instrumentals. Reminiscent of acts such as SOPHIE and Arca, with a sound quality that evokes complex emotions, Malstrøm is a rising act made for big things – and this track is one minimalistic but impactful example of what lies ahead for them.
