Replanting The Family Tree
Self-Released, 2019
8/10
Listen to Replanting The Family Tree
The Danish artist Oh Land returns with 5 Arthur Moon remixes, as her electronic-pop formula finds an even more creative place to reside with Moon’s contributions.
“Salt” starts the listen with an ambient feel as vocal manipulation exists alongside keys, and “Open” follows with a similar dance inspired approach with a constant tweaking of sounds and textures.
In the middle, the best track, “Human Error”, is less busy and allows the strong vocals to soar, while “After The Storm” recruits a lush and beat friendly setting of exploration. The dreamy, almost cinematic “When A Hawk Comes By” ends the quick listen.
Oh Land’s Family Tree album was a pivotal release for the songstress, and these reworkings of tunes from that album with Moon make these versions even more enthralling, lively and embraceable.
