Tusen Bita by Burning God Little
Loving this lil EP from Norway’s Burning God Little. It makes me want to go train jumping with this young lad. Highly Recommended.
Tromsø is a dark place. Being one of the most northern cities in the world, it is also known as The Arctic City. This is also, famously, the land of the midnight sun, and when it never gets dark it’s easy to forget about sleep. It’s in this close contact with nature, light and sleep that Burning God Little, aka Martin Hartgen, found his interest in the digital textures that dominates ‘Notes On Being Snowblind’.
The lead single ’Tusen Bita’ is placed right inside the contradiction that makes up Tromsø vs. the digital world. It’s artificial drum beat, super low bass booms, and dream-state synthesizer fizz all gathers up into one of the EP’s many sky-sized swoons. The lyrics, in his native dialect, distort images of longing and love, but also physical damage. You never quite know where this fits, as it possesses both the bedsit mournfulness of sad pop music and punchy energy and aggression of happy pop music.
