“Exceptionally good writing.”
“Norwegian singer Aron Dahl’s songs, which mingle gentle synth-pop with occasional acoustic guitar pieces, are quietly straightforward and approachable, but the subject matter sets them apart. They are literate, precise lyrics about his love life and sex life as a gay man, filled with diaristic detail that unexpectedly finds “quiet tenderness” in clubs and sex dungeons, as well as a multitude of observational brilliance. It’s a beautiful album that offers an unlikely heartfelt window into aspects of life which seldom make it onto vinyl.”
“Composer/filmmaker Aron Dahl has shared the most charming track of the year, with ‘Ficken -3000’.”
