Einar Stray Orchestra - Chiaroscuro - LP (transp. vinyl) Useful FictionsSeven tracks, fifty minutes: "Chiroscuro" is an outreaching gesture. The attempt must fail, but it does with grace and beauty: sing along choruses for the soul, tap along rhytthms for the heart, dramatic rides through dramatic landscapes, pretty Liebesperlen fit into cracky snow globes, noise eruptions and eternal beauty, mind tearing weights and solace by the gallon. "Chiaroscuro" is door, document, snow globe and, well, chiaroscuro. And storm flood

In a time when artists are in limbo

And on nature as a process

Offish electronic sounds

The album of a band

a warm album

B01 Belvedere

just after we were all plunged into this weird new world

LSSNS draw their greatest attraction from fractures and breaches

A03 Hero Myth

Cover with one flap
