Oslo’s indie-folk troubadour Simen Mitlid features his delicately crafted single “St. Hanshaugen,” fresh off his recently released album, Everything is the Same. Channeling the instrospective acousticism of Sufjan Stevens and Broken Social Scene, Mitlid ties in subdued vocal layering with growing instrumentals and tender technicality. The track is equal parts soothing and invigorating, drawing in the breath of life with the building anticipation of a massive crescendo. Take in Simen Mitlid’s serene crooning in “St. Hanshaugen” below, and indulge more fully with the entire album here.
