Ane’s fifth album, and third studio album, ”Changing of the Seasons” has recently been released. The album is produced by Valgeir Sigurdsson (Björk, Sigur Ros, Múm, Bonnie Prince Billy, Coco Rosie, Maps, and more). This time also through DetErMine Records, and also on the newborn label Balloon Ranger Recordings, owned by Ane herself.
32-year-old native of Norway, Ane Brun first picked up the guitar only 11 years ago, proving to be a quick learner when she released her debut album only 6 years later. With her debut, “Spending Time with Morgan”, originally only released in Europe, Brun’s second album, “A Temporary Dive“, was her first album released in both the US and Japan when it dropped in 2004.
The interestingly appealing “Duets” was released in 2005, featuring Brun singing singing 10 duets with talented Norwegian and Swedish artists like Lars Bygdén, Tingsek, and Tobias Fröberg. Though the names will be unfamiliar to most audiences outside of Norway and Sweden, the album’s fantastic quality speaks well for the current music scene in Norway. After releasing a live album in 2007, Brun headed to the studio to work on “Changing of the Season”, which was released on March 12th. Brun currently resides in Sweden and her musical approach fits in nicely somewhere between the contemporary pop and folk the country has become reputable for. Her instrumental focus varies between a plethora of acoustic guitars, strings, and keys on “Changing of the Seasons”, with each playing the role as melodic role alternatively between each song. The powerful “10 Seconds” sees Brun and a gospel-y backing vocal section glide seamlessly over the delicate progression of a piano. The chorus introduces the gradual use of strings, an instrumental feature that is used to excellent consistency throughout the album. “It is those ten seconds, those ten seconds in your head,” she sings. “When you don’t wonder if you’re alright, when you’re just hanging around with yourself – with yourself.” The chorus alone marks the point of a devastatingly haunting hook, primarily guided by Brun’s uniquely empowering vocals, the string arrangement, and the underlying twinkle of keys. It is a perfect example of Brun’s raw talent. – Mike Mineo (Obscure Sound)
