A Symphony of Shadows

About

The mesmerizing Copenhagen dream pop duo, BlackieBlueBird, is back with their highly anticipated fourth album, "A SYMPHONY OF SHADOWS." This latest release presents a fresh take on their beloved old songs, weaving together delicate torch songs with an innovative twist.

Comprised of the enchanting singer Heidi Lindahl and the masterful composer Nils Lassen, BlackieBlueBird creates an ethereal soundscape filled with reverb, echo, and haunting beauty. Their music captivates listeners with echoing guitars, plaintive harmonicas, wistful mandolins, and a choir of lonely mermaids that sporadically embrace Heidi’s golden voice. Her unique and clear vibrato brings to life the echoes of love and longing, hello and deceptive farewell, in a profoundly melancholic way.

BlackieBlueBird's previous albums, "Ghost River," "Goodbye in July," and "Grace and Gravity," received rave reviews worldwide, with comparisons drawn to the haunting melodies of Nick Cave’s “Murder Ballads” and the ethereal soundscapes of Enya. Now, with "A SYMPHONY OF SHADOWS," the duo reimagines their signature dreamy romanticism by adding drums and orchestral elements to highlights from their back catalog, all while maintaining the poignant melancholy of their earlier works.

Inspired by the overwhelming international reception of their last album, this new release casts familiar favorites in a refreshing new light and shade. Led by the tender and enchanting voice of Heidi Lindahl, "A SYMPHONY OF SHADOWS" features 10 songs about longing, love, life, and loss, penned by the experienced composer Nils Lassen. The album also showcases the talents of renowned Danish drummer Tomas Ortved (Sort Sol), Japanese pianist Tashi Mutzaki, and skilled arranger Lazlo Singer, who complements the soundscapes with delicate string arrangements.

All songs on the album were written and produced by Nils Lassen, with "A SYMPHONY OF SHADOWS" being a collaboration between T&E Records and Aenaos Records. The album is set for release as a digital download on June 7th, 2024.
