Nordsind – Lys lp

Nordsind – Lys lp

"My love for post black and blackgaze is growing by the day, and Nordsind re-affirmed that thought very early on in the year with Lys. Released back in February (2021), it has stood its ground against so many incredible releases this year, and comfortably made it into my top 5 albums of the year. Lys is a very solid and stirring release that should put Nordsind right up there with all the current blackgaze heavy hitters. Lys is a tale of both joy and sadness that is told through music. If you crave the spirit, melody, and measured ferocity that the post-black/blackgaze genres bring, then Lys must be on your to-listen-to-list. Nordsind have something unique in their sound that I was unable to pinpoint at first. I now think it’s down to their ability to create soundscapes and melodies that are natural and organic. Their music flows effortlessly, beautifully simplistic, and unforced, but still decisively harmonic. It’s a wholly immersive album." - Pat O' / Veil Of Sound
