Glöde has crafted a captivating debut album simply called Ø, which means Danish
for Island. From the shortest track Jeg Vil Elske (I will Love, 1.44) to the
longest track Exhale (7.10) for the
last track, I was spellbound by the vocals and acoustics that made me want to
listen intensely to the lyrics, reminding me of Al Stewart, America, Richard
Hawley, Damien Rice and Alex Turner and this calibre is uncommon. The songs themselves tell vivid stories and
many are about the sea which is heavily influenced by his upbringing on Danish shore
lands and more recently a sojourn in Hamburg.
It was easy to picture an ocean while listening to this music and so I
was surprised that some natural sounds of the sea were not included on at least
three tracks. It’s probable Mr Glöde was quite content with the depth already
offered by this gently uplifting, recline and unwind album.
