 Saralunden & Andrey Kiritchenko - There Was No End [Nexsound - 2007]It's a small world after all, we find here a project with Swedish singer/songwriter Sara Lunden joining forces Ukranian electronic artist Andrey Kiritchenko for a 25 minute EP. Sara's voice in de first track Come With Me doesn't immediately take me in, so to speak. In the following track it turns out it wasn't so much the voice, but the melody that was somewhat problematic for me. As the EP continues things get more exciting, in melody but also in arrangement. Don't You Remember finds Sara somewhat absentmindend it seems, droning through soaring electronics. Next we find a more traditional song, with plain guitar, electric piano, ghostly backingvocals and some seemingly random sounds scattered around. Halfway into Erotic Dreams the sound reminds me of Depeche Mode, in some peculiar way. The sixth and last track finds us floating into the sea as Tonight seems to be some odd seashanty-out-of-joint.It turns out that this EP is much nicer than I initially thought it was going to be judging on track one. Somewhat comparable to the female singer/songwriter with electronics combination we know from Susanna & The Magical Orchestra and Niobe's White Hats album, but very much creating their own little soundworld.
