Shamanic noise, hauntingly beautiful experimental vocal, electronics and explosive, performance-driven concerts.
There’s nothing quite like Sturle Dagsland on the Norwegian music scene. He has been everywhere, from the Nyege Nyege festival in Uganda to Shanghai and New York. He has played packed clubs in Japan and China an major European festivals. In 2022, he received the Norwegian Edvard Prize in the challenger category together with his brother Sjur for the album Sturle Dagsland – a snippet from the jury statement gives an idea of the unpredictable mix: “This album is neither an genre exercise nor a schoolboy transgression, – no – this is the lost adopted child of Björk on LSD, it is a nightmare version of Aurora and abstracted Korn.”
The album received enthusiastic reviews in publications such as VICE, The Quietus and MOJO. In October, Dagsland finally releases the sequel Dreams and Conjurations, where the unique journey continues. In the artist's own words: “a musical odyssey that conjures up sounds from the underworld and intertwines ancient knowledge with avant-garde pop music, screaming metal, folk music and immersive electronic soundscapes.”
