Shiny Darkly: Bronze auf LP

Product Information

Die As co-producers the band worked with prior collaborators Jens Benz and Nis Bysted – the Godfathers of the new Danish punk and underground scene. Nis has produced and released bands such as Iceage, Choir of Young Believers and his own band Thulebasen. Jens has recorded and produced a long list of Nordic Noir bands such as aforementioned Iceage as well as Danish artists Goodiepal, Bisse and many more. Both these gents are also Crunchy Frog alumni in their past bands Düreforsög and PowerSolo, by the way.

But the core is the Shiny Darkly trio: Mads Lassen's tastefully solid and subtly innovative drums and percussion, Oliver Matthew Voltz's distinctive bass and synths, and on top of that - really tying it all together - is Kristoffer Bech's vocal delivery and guitar work. Kristoffer was already a unique and distinctive singer on previous EPs and the debut album, but over the past two years he has developed into an even more original vocalist and lyricist. Somewhere between McCulloch, Curtis and Cave and yet utterly, singularly, his own man. And likewise, Shiny Darkly is like nothing else out there these days.

Bronze also showcases some fine guest star performances from soul singer Jada, the jazzy horn-man Anders Malta and composer, pianist and former keyboard side-man in the band, Kristian Marstal.
