The sounds and texts for
Benni Hemm Hemm
's second album
Kajak
were written within a few, concentrated weeks. The recordings in Sundlaugin, the studio of
Sigur Rós
, were also done within only four days. During four magical days, 11 musicians recorded 13 vibrating tracks with kettle drums and trumpets, with guitars, trombones and a glockenspiel. Emotionally, energetically, emphatically. According to the pulsating way these songs come out of the loudspeakers, these stories wanted to be told. Still on board: the emphatic wind section of Northern Soul, the whirling enthusiasm of dance music. What is new on
Kajak
is a dramaturgical balance, a giving and taking, especially among single tracks. With
Kajak
,
Benedik H. Hermannsson
, the passionate narrator and cunning entertainer, became a well-versed arranger, as well. "Sorgartár" is situated close to the ocean. A surging and swelling, a ride on the wave's crest, constructed of a wind section, organs and one baritone guitar. "Regngalsinn" is an abstract love poem. Birds twitter, everything in the garden is lovely. One could call it a power-ballad if power-ballads didn't have such a bad reputation. "Mónakó" is an absurd song with three singing-tracks overlapping each other. "Egísa," finally, is a slow stroll out of the album into the sunshine. The sun is low in the sky and makes us squint.
