Einar Stray headlines the 1st Anniversary celebrations of Ink Music Berlin at Festsaal tonight along with Petula and one of Austria’s finest, Garish.
Stray’s compositions are truly advanced and tracks some times go on for up to eight minutes without the listener ever feeling the slightest bit of boredom or inattentiveness. The music just sucks you in. Stray’s simple piano chords and deep voice are the centrepieces of these incredible compositions that are steadily getting a growing audience not only in Norway, but also all over the world. Driven forward by strings, drums and bass, and sprinkled with horns, synthesizers, samples, guitars and kazoos, these arrangements are never over the top, just perfectly planned and executed.
Here’s his video for Yr Heart Isn’t A Heart and a live one from Garish below:
