13 August 2023

Artist: DENNI IAN
Who: Danish post-folk troubadour
Danish poet and singer-songwriter.

New single: HERE, IN ABSENCE
The 4th shared piece from his 2nd album, titled ‘Salt King’, out
on 15 September, after having been heavily delayed due to Ian‘s
being bedridden for almost nine months after a severe traffic
accident last year.

TUTV: His music has been compared to the brutal beauty of early Nick Cave,
the delicate intimacy of the late Elliott Smith, and the rich melancholy of Matt
Berninger
of The National. But I also hear intonated echoes of Tindersticks‘s
heartrending crooner Stuart A. Staples.

Hauntingly melancholic and gloomily romantic. The song features magnific
male/female duet vocals creating, along with weeping violins and intimate
acoustic guitar play, a dark-coloured atmosphere. This is moody music for
the midnight hours. Highly affecting.
