Organ Thing of The Day – The new single and video from Stina Stjern’s upcoming new album Vivid Peace Restored an album to be released in November 2024. Let the music do the talking and the visuals do the walking, if we didn’t think it worthy it wouldn’t be our thing of the day… “In this new release, Stina Stjern masterfully blends the nostalgic warmth of cassette tape recorders and Walkmans with contemporary effects, synths, and her enchanting vocals”.

“The Wild Woman Archetype is taken from the album, Vivid Peace Restored, which will be released on LP/DL and possibly even MC, at the end of November.

Composer and performer Stina Stjern has for over 25 years been a steady presence in the Norwegian music scene – starting out as a vocalist in the rock band Supervixen while studying jazz in Trondheim, Stjern’s road has been anything but predictable, and has over the years shown a will to experiment and explore new areas in her music making. Her new album ”Vivid Peace Restored” is perhaps her most radical musical statement yet, as the entire album is made using cassette tape.

The sound sources vary from found sounds, various instruments and Stjern’s own voice, but there is no hierarchy, the different elements are given equal importance, and through considerate looping, layering, cut-ups, re-arranging the bits and pieces it forms a rich tapestry of sound. This blurring is intentional, Stjern wants us to get lost in her sound world, a place where nothing is forced or overstated. Tape hiss, subtle melody lines, distant location recordings, gentle waves of noise, and voices melt together creating lush soundscapes”.
