BJ?RN TORSKE - Byen (Sealed) (CD)

Norwegian producer Bj?rn Torske marks the 20-year anniversary of his solo career with Byen, his fifth solo album and first in 7 year via Smalltown Supersound. Recorded over the past year at Torske’s home and studio in Bergen, Byen finds the veteran musician fusing two distinct sides of his catalog—clubby, inviting house music, and side-long pastoral ambience. It continues to show his flair for fusing indelible melody with propulsive rhythms. Upward scaling lead single Clean Air, is a mountain-traversing track with piping synths and crisp backbeats laid over a warm, inviting bassline.
