Westmark, Steffen - Deserter

NEW VINYL LP ON PLAYGROUND 2013.

Solo albums can be a tricky business for some artists. Coming out of a popular and established rock group (The Blue Van in this case) to record under a different guise or constellation can often be perceived as “trouble on the home front” or “you guys are holding me back”, and can result in a confused mix bag of genres and purposeful sea change in musical styles. Whatever. Forget what you were thinking about and brace yourself for one of the best albums I have ever heard to come out of Denmark.
