Ubahn - Dvala

Review by Rod Soppe

Dvala, the latest album by electronic music duo Ubahn, is a mesmerizing work of art that takes the listener on a journey through dreamy soundscapes and ethereal melodies. From the opening track "Svartmyrkr" to the closing "Sjálfheill," the album is a seamless blend of ambient, downtempo, and experimental electronic music.

The use of analog synths, field recordings, and subtle percussion creates a unique and immersive sonic experience that is both soothing and haunting. The album's title, which means "to sleep" in Icelandic, is a fitting description of the music's hypnotic quality.

One standout track is "Vetur" which features a haunting vocal sample that floats over a pulsating beat, creating a sense of urgency and tension. "Morgunn" is another highlight, with its melancholic piano melody and atmospheric textures that evoke a sense of longing and introspection.

Summary by Rod Soppe

Dvala is an impressive and captivating album that showcases Ubahn's talent for creating immersive and emotive electronic music. It is a must-listen for fans of ambient and experimental electronic music.
