Silje Nes : Yellow EP (N,2008)***'
Usually I do not review digital only releases, but the EP is a very fine addition perhaps even improvement to the full album (reviewed just up), which could eventually be added as a self-burned bonus cd.
On this EP the electronic and semi-electronic arrangements (electronica, guitar, rhythmic blips and sounds, glockenspiel, organ, and so on, all with related harmonious pitches) is completely in harmony with the whispery songs, and might even be more important this time, like playful miniature-folktronica. The instrumental part of it flows in fact gently and vividly with sweet clicking steps from one track to the next, making the vocal parts just like another instrument, presenting something of a beautiful fantasy world -where I would like to stay for a while-, like a sort of soundtrack alternative of a natural environment in urban contexts, like a toy space ship, or like an attractive modern times colour book. Well done.
