With the release of their fantastic album Politricks this week, we had to feature Einar Stray Orchestra as our latest Artist of the Week. Hailing from Norway, they blend uplifting indie and elements of traditional folk but bring their own unique spin to each and every track.
The album itself is a journey as the band brave the world as young adults with their heads held high and their eyes wide open. From start to finish, the band present a kaleidoscope of emotions with strings, guitars, drums, keys, and honey sweet vocals coming together as one. It’s hard to believe a band this young sounds so accomplished.
Politricks is only their second album but their first as Einar Stray Orchestra (their debut, Chiaroscuro was released under Einar Stray). However, now that front man Einar Stray has added his Orchestra, the band finally feels complete. They are one of the most exciting bands to emerge from Europe and let’s hope we see a lot more of them in the UK.
