Omens by Flunk
Continuing their two-decade-long union, Flunk are back on Beatservice Records with their latest single, 'Omens'. Experts at channelling the essence of their surroundings, the Norwegian four-piece transports listeners to the ethereal, earthly landscapes of their home country. An introspective and emotive, folk-leaning sonic exploration, 'Omens' is a sea of soft-focus brilliance that pulls on even the toughest of heartstrings.
Comprised of producer Ulf Nygaard, guitarist Jo Bakke, bassist Ole Kristian Wetten and vocalist Anja Øyen Vister their distinctive blend of folk, downtempo and indie rock has enamoured audiences and listeners worldwide. With an enveloping depth of textures, their music effuses a distinct storytelling talent.
Stripping it back to the basic beauty of music being a medium to move people, 'Omens' keeps the components to a minimum, each given the space to draw you in. The deftness of Bakke's acoustic guitar picking, intertwined with delicate strums, reverberates with a familiar warmth. A perfect synergy with the tangible presence of Anja Øyen Vister's celestial vocals, so close you feel like she's right there in the room with you.
The power of this song then, lies in its simplicity. Only a dusting of cosmic synth glides and sweeping vocal harmonies are added to the mix. In an age of excess, 'Omens' is an evocative display of how less is often more when the quality of the elements are given space to shine.
