Maribel - Reveries [12", LP]


MARIBEL is a band from Oslo that's often being labelled as dreampop, but i think that how they describe it themselves on their Facebook page fits best: "offbeat/detuned soul-noir". REVERIES has a dark vibe. It's dreamy, cinematic and sometimes even a bit hallucinatory. Musically pretty different from Karin Dreijer's Fever Ray, but it does have the same kind of atmosphere. The song "Perfumed" is nothing less than a well-disguised dark blues song. A great album and i hope that they'll release something new soon again, because this album was from early 2012. I bought it a few months ago when i was in Bergen, Norway.
