‘Mánakvøld’ is the kind of record that we are instantly attracted to. Incredibly soothing, hazy and expansive, the track sees Faroese creative Benjamin Rajani engaging in what he does best: bucolic indie folk with a certain leftfield quality to it. Packed with dreamy guitars and gentle electronic textures, the piece particularly highlights Rajani’s meaningful, hypnotising vocals, making for a deeply magical listening experience.
Boasting a long career, Rajani has slowly grown into a nuanced, sapient artistic figure, in a way ageing like fine wine. ‘Mánakvøld’ is one of his best efforts to date, a meaningful, poignant jewel delving into the joy of sharing one’s life with a partner. As Benjamin explains: “I wanted to capture the feeling of youth and falling in love. To me, endless car rides under a moonlit sky – where time feels infinite and every moment is filled with possibility – encapsulate that perfectly.”
Released via Tutl Records, ‘Mánakvøld’ is a welcome relief for any keen listeners, especially given the cosy season we are all enjoying at the moment. If you are in need of evocative, meaningful music with an intimate and dreamy contour, you are in luck: you just found it.
