Dylan Mondegreen Shares New Video

Earlier this year, Dylan Mondegreen released the new album, A Place in the Sun. Like the previous releases, it balanced understated pop with slightly folk leanings. Today we’re pleased to share with you the video for “Sunless Summer,” one of the LP’s standout tunes. The video is this beautifully soft visual, following around a female protagonist, seemingly waiting for the return of a loved one. I love how there’s this slight haziness to everything, which matches the emotional pull of the track itself. If the video or the song appeal to you, be sure to grab yourself a copy of the album right HERE.

Dylan Mondegreen Prepares A Place in the Sun

Dylan Mondegreen is the moniker for the musical project of Borge Sildnes, and today we’re really happy to share this grand pop gesture that alerts us to a new album on the horizon. There are elements of indiepop within the confines of this track, though the strings arrangements give the track this larger than life feel…a kin to some of the B&S tunes that uses similar songwriting approaches. I love how Borge seems to sit back with his voice a little bit, almost as if he’s pulled back to let the track’s natural melody flow through your speakers. This song will appear on A Place in the Sun…slated for a release later this year.

Sorry I Slept on Dylan Mondegreen

LIFE134_Cover480Shelflife Records is one of my favorite small labels, and with that, they’ve got an expected sound…but their signing of Dylan Mondegreen is a slight turn to the more casual side of pop music. Here you find the title track of his album Every Little Step, with Mondegreen playing the role of indiepop crooner. It’s relaxed and filled with simple melodies, which might draw similarities to Jens Lekman. I look forward to hearing the complete work from the Norwegeian, knowing I fully trust the label and their choices. Look for the LP on April 8th.
