Einar Stray Orchestra
's new album has been given the name
Politricks
and is lyrically a tribute to childhood heroes and beliefs that are shattered when faced with the reality of the adult world. It is a personal story about finding oneself, about adolescent frustration in the middle of a blizzard of different beliefs. It is about losing a friend to death and a farewell letter to God, which was never sent but made into a song instead.
Politricks
is an album about being ashamed of Norwegian foreign policies 0- about being from a country that hands out peace prizes with one hand and simultaneously makes weapons of war and builds its extreme prosperity on oil with the other. Musically, Einar Stray Orchestra is inspired by artists such as
Sufjan Stevens
and
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
with the same orchestral approach to composing. The songs will be as long as they need to be, and where both shouting and whispering colors the soundscape.
Politricks
is a dynamic and colorful album. Dark melancholy and an orchestral sound that meets an accessible pop sound with more shades than on its predecessor
Chiaroscuro
. The signature grand piano gets a rest at times in favor of electric guitar and shoegaze influences.
Politricks
takes you from stripped a cappella to noisy rock crescendos. The album was produced by
Hasse Rosbach
(
Team Me
/
Moddi
) and mixed by
Nick Terry
(
Libertines
/
Klaxons
/
Serena Maneesh
).
