Since I liked Marit Larsen SO MUCH, here is the review of the first album
Artist/Band Name :
Marit Larsen
Album Title :
Under The Surface
Year of Recording :
2006
Genre :
Pop, Folk, Pop-Folk, Acoustic
My impressions :
I'm not really into folk-ish music at first, but when I listen to this, it sounds great. The lyrics is deep and the music is fun. I'm the kind of person who looks deeply on the lyrics of a song, I don't like lyrics that looks like its been made by monkeys, I love when it have meanings in it, especially about relationship, life story etc. And I love when the artists makes the lyrics and song themself
Although some of the songs have pretty straightforward meaning (like Under The Surface, Only A Fool and Recent Illusion), others is just exquisite (like Solid Ground, To An End and Poison Passion). Music on this particular songs excellent too, and much quieter than the rest, more focusing on vocal and the impression on instruments that she want to show
For me, the best song is The Sinking Game, the music (instruments, percussion) is just great, lyrics is astounding and it sounds fun fun fun
The odds are Come Closer, it sound so folk-ish I thought I listen to wrong album at first, but the chorus is just magical
Recording Quality :
The quality is fluctuate, the more popular song are 'hotter' than the not. Overall its not bad, and the vocal hasn't been touched (from what I heard, thumbs up for her) and the instruments is laid out pretty well and the separation is noticeable even on lesser system
Some songs does clip a little bit though
