Lindstrøm is back in a major way. One of the most enigmatic producers from Norway is back with his first solo effort since 2012 with his album, “It’s Alright Between Us As It Is .” Little by little, Lindstrøm is building the anticipation with each single that he’s dropped from the upcoming album with each release being better than the one before.

On the latest take, the Smalltown Supersound artist brings a trippy space odyssey with his latest collaboration with Jenny Hval on the track “Bungle (Like a Ghost).”
On the haunting material, Hval comments, “I recorded some vocals over this little baroque piece, and for some reason, I felt like I was invading it, or haunting it. I felt like the ghost voice from classic literature. Then later Lindstrøm stretched out to a sweeping disco manifesto for the cemetery – at least that was the feeling I got when I heard the finished version. I guess recorded music can always be described as human remains. Songs contain parts of us that no longer exist, but managed to inscribe themselves into a recording before they moved on.”
As described by Lindstrøm, “This track is the glue to the album, and if it wasn’t for ‘Bungl,’ the album would not have happened. Jenny’s contribution transformed an unfinished idea into something really special.”
Look for “It’s Alright Between Us As It Is” to be released via Smalltown Supersound this Friday, October 20. In support of the latest release, Lindstrøm will tour less than a handful of US cities as listed below starting next month.
