Kaya Herstad Carney, Gig Review. Brink, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

One of the great successes of the last decade in the musical relationship between Liverpool, L.I.P.A. and the interestingly diverse culture of students that the city makes welcome every year is undoubtedly that that is the driving force of Science of the Lamps, Kaya Herstad Carney. One of the embodiments of Norwegian culture, of the tremendous ability to create atmospheric and delightful Nordic music which stands up to the heights of the story teller and the poetic nature of a people shrouded in the shadow of Northern Europe, Ms. Herstad Carney never sells herself or the audience short.

Kalandra To Perform At The Zanzibar Club On The 17th January.

On Friday 17th January, the Zanzibar Club will be playing host to some great young talent within its walls as bands such as Electric Lips, The Inkhearts will be joining the cracking Kalandra.

Fronted by Katrine Ødegård Stenbekk, Kalandra are a six-piece folk rock band that have made Liverpool their home and contains musicians from England, The Isle of Man and Norway. It is this Norwegian influence, carrying on a wonderful tradition of musicians such as Kaya Herstad Carney, Grethe Borsum and Ragz Nordset from that proud country that have made the city even more exotic and fable like than ever before.

Science Of The Lamps, Gig Review. Threshold Festival, The Picket, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

All over the Baltic Quarter in Liverpool, bands and artists had been thrilling audiences during the second day of the Threshold Festival but there can’t have been many more that were as highly anticipated, nor as keenly appreciated as Science of the Lamps. The near impossible task of getting perhaps one of the largest gatherings of musicians and singers on a stage anywhere in Liverpool over the weekend, including the ever superb musician Luke Moore on cello and keyboards and the wonderful vocal talent of Mersey Wylie alongside the woman of the weekend Kaya Herstad Carney.

Science Of The Lamps, E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There is something unerringly beautiful about the music of Science of the Lamps. Almost mythical in its presentation, stunning in its creation and just that pinch of Nordic noir/folk fairytale that filters through and gives the eponymous E.P. the type of storytelling and poetic mixture that craves attention.
