Lena Anderssen, The Airport. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

We have found ways to be able to travel to distant and secluded lands and experience cultures that at one time we had to rely on the sincere words of guides and the opinions of others to make our imagination and creativity soar, we have found the way to shorten time and the miles between us so that what may have taken us months and a hefty price tag to conquer, instead takes us hours, a day out of our lives in which we can spend the voyage thinking about the emotional response to the facial expression of the one we love, to the one we say hello to; and ultimately the one we will meet again with hugs and smiles, tears and the courage of the goodbye at The Airport.

Lena Anderssen, Eagle In The Sky. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

You can never truly know someone unless they open up their heart to you. It doesn’t have to be through love, or through desire but through the simple action and undertaking of trust and faith in their words. No matter what you make think about them, no matter what you believe, there is so much they keep hidden and away from the prying eyes, arguably even of their best friend. To open up takes courage, to unlock the door and let the emotions have free reign and let them be seen for what they are is to be brave and in arguably one of the finest musicians to come out of the Faroe Islands, that bravery is exemplary.

Lena Anderssen, Letters From The Faroes. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The Faroe Islands might not be on top of the vast majority of people’s thoughts when it comes listening to music, it is a shame as the tiny archipelago with a population of about 50,000 has some excellent traditional music of which it justly and rightly proud but also some incredible contemporary musicians who give their all in their performance and studio albums.  One such musician is Lena Anderssen.

Lena Anderssen’s 2011 album Letters From The Faroes fills any musical void that may have opened up between the U.K. and the small set of islands is immediately plugged completely by the tantalising music on offer by the young Faroese woman.
