Norway’s Petter Carlsen releases his third album Sirens this week. Carlen’s unique voice, harrowing lyrics, and beautiful melodies have become his calling card but Sirens is even deeper—it’s a more personal record as Petter says some of it was inspired “by a girl.”
It’s easy to compare Petter to fellow Scandinavian bands like Mew as he bends electronic and organic elements together creating a compelling sound, but it’s the more intricate moments that are the most inspiring.
The album is released on UK indie label Function Records and is available as of yesterday.
