Håvard Volden :: Small Lives

Norwegian musician Håvard Volden is best known for his collaborations with songwriter Jenny Hval, with whom he plays in the experimental art pop group Lost Girls. But with his solo excursion Small Lives, he creates a space where post-rock lulls nestle against jazz structures and subtly anarchic counter melodies. Though the cited influences of early tape composers like Luc Ferrari and madman studio experimentalist Joe Meek might call to mind chopped and spliced takes, Volden maintains a steady organic feel on the title track, a graceful guitar-based drone funk ballad.
