Description: | Stefan Christensen swamps delicate threads of melody in a muted squall of distortion. Waves of agitated noise, tamped down but still fractious, roll over the structures of his songs, so that it's hard to tell whether the song or the dissonant scree of sound is the main thing. A current member of Headroom and frequent collaborator with members of Mountain Movers, Alexander, and Nagual, Christensen layers haunted sung imagery over slow looped constructions of guitar and percussion. Here on The Upcoming Flame, the melodic fire flickers amid smoke, haze, and hum. The pretty folk strumming of "Arrows" provides a sharp contrast to the blistering roar of "Unkempt Power (This City's Hold)", whose wild guitar distortion edges close to Dinosaur Jr. Territory. The stark, minimal power of "G. Roberts", where a single electric guitar line carves through echo-shrouded hiss and hum is quite unlike the dystopian hypnotics of "Like Factories" a wavery chant weaving through mechanical assembly-line stomp.Recorded 2017-2018"The Upcoming Flame" is the latest LP from Stefan Christensen, released by Bruit Direct Disques / Cargo. This album showcases Christensen's signature blend of lo-fi indie rock and experimental soundscapes, offering listeners a deeply immersive auditory experience. Known for his introspective songwriting and raw production style, Christensen has steadily built a reputation in the underground music scene with previous acclaimed releases such as "Am I Free To Go?" and collaborations with artists like David Shapiro. The new record continues to push boundaries, weaving together haunting melodies and textured guitar work that reflect both vulnerability and resilience.
