Jasper TX's Dag Rosenqvist teams up with Danish writer Bue Nordstrom for this new project combining sublime cinematic textures with processed text readings. Rosenqvist's music here converges on a kind of motion-blurred shoegaze, slowed down almost to the point of droning imobility on beautiful tracks like 'Tableau' and 'For At Frelse En Rejsende', which somehow manage to feel organic and song-like despite the saturation of nebulous electronics.
The album builds up to a spine-tingling, epic closing track: 'Famler I Mit Eget Mørke', featuring a layered vocal by soprano Janne Korsager Sovang whose performance is enveloped beautifully by Rosenqvist's electronics and deeply muffled, almost Basinski-esque piano phrasings. A fittingly epic climax to a brilliant album - one that succeeds regardless of what languages you speak. Replica Archipelago comes recommended to fans of Max Richter, Tim Hecker and even Sigur Ros in their more abstract moments - a real find.
