Malmo, Sweden's Sternpost returns to Concentric Circles with unworld.afterpop. Following on the heels of the much loved Ulrika, the new album from Sternpost, AKA multi-instrumentalist Petter Herbertsson, shimmers with immersive, cinematic arrangements that sound like they could have only come from a dream.
Albums this richly ambitious, detailed and dare we say "mature" feel almost out of step with modern music, having more in common with grand late 60s or early 70s productions, when producers working in a "pop" context were more likely to stack layers in the studio, creating mini orchestras of sound. Most importantly, nothing here feels superfluous or unnecessary, with every detail and instrument simply being exactly where it should be.
