Nordsun, previously known as Splitter, is an artist from Germany, who decided to change the moniker he makes his music under to convey the otherworldly sounds he creates, ones so well audible on the second debut album Tales of a Beautiful Life.
The artist explains his music as a "wild mix between ambient, alternative rock, electronic music…" and here the list of genres goes on and on but the main characteristic of the tracks here is that they "discover the surrealistic dreamworld of Nordsun" that is filled with "escapism and surrealistic mind spheres". All of this takes the form of super ethereal ambient pop in which the ambient soundscapes are dominant and imagination-fueling while the vocals very, very distant while still emotional. This makes up the album's core foundation: the spacious and delicately psychedelic blend of electronica, guitar and piano sounds with particularly melodic vocals.
The artist sees the dissonance in that he released an album about "beautiful life" in the middle of a world crisis but there's an answer to that: the album is more about the unreal and the ideal, as he states: "my dream world was more exciting than the real world" and this borderline escapist approach is well-felt all around the release.
