Falling Leaves

Broen return with eyes open to new vistas on their second album, Do You See The Falling Leaves?. Back in 2017, Norway's experi-pop quintet brought exuberant reserves of intelligence, positivity and warm-spirited commonality to the world-building bustles of jazz, funk, psychedelia, electronics and hip-hop on their international debut, I Love Art. Due for release via Bella Union on 18 October, 2019, Do You See the Falling Leaves? extends its predecessor's vision and expands its brightly generous worldview, opening the door to mindful, invigorating and mind-bogglingly inventive ways of composing, engaging and connecting: with nature, with each other, with their own potential.

The falling leaves of autumn, where winds, unleashed over the mead, blow trees barer and barer, carry leaves through the air, eddies on the ground and it becomes silent… Sounds between falling leaves are, for the most part, elegiac, modal songs in simple harmonies whose motions are gentle and soft and more inwardly directed. In nuances and subtlest vibrations, a massive force is unfolded from a delicate, virtuosic play for tranquillity and slow flow. Lisette Spinnler's songs are dialogues with nature, which have lived in and touched her soul since childhood. Her songs, the airy vocals, shimmering and shadowy, tinted and elaborately formed, are natural and do not seek to be an event. However, they are an event, provided that we listen.
