Niklas Paschburg - Svalbard (2020) EN

Niklas Paschburg from Hamburg is an artist known from many projects, for example from collaborating with Ásgeir. In his works he uses piano sounds mixed with electronic ones and is good in what he does. Also on this year's album called Svalbard.

It is opened by charming sounds of piano keys but the whole album is definitely more than just that/ Unlike what the album's title might suggest (after all the Norwegian Svalbard is an arctic wilderness more likely to be connected with dark soundscapes) it is filled with heavily diverse content. The piano is swiftly joined by subtly electronic, sometimes more, sometimes less atmospheric backgrounds and the opener in If transforms into multi-instrumental, lively compositions. 

There's more than one surprise on the whole album. Like the thing that sounds like accordion, gloomy basses or fast beats. The beauty of neoclassicism has many faces.
