UNDER BYEN RETURN TO THE STATES TO SUPPORT THE ALBUM LEAF
"The mood is one of beautiful desolation and melancholy." - David Byrne
Under Byen |
For the uninitiated, Under Byen is led by the striking Dane Henriette Sennenvaldt. One reviewer said this: "Denmark's Under Byen evoke the rainy, windblown coastlines of Scandinavia. In late 2006 Under Byen released Samme Stof Som Stof (same fabric as fabric) on Canada's Paper Bag Records. The four men and four women continually circle masculine and feminine sonic poles with melancholic dread and ice flower filigree. By turns sinister and percussive, then velvety smooth, their tintinnabular chimes, feather-soft vocals, strident cello and violin march macabre, make this a fitting soundtrack for the end of times."
Current Under Byen members are: Henriette Sennenvaldt (vocal), Sara Saxild (bass), Thorbjørn Krogshede (piano), Nils Gröndahl (violin/saw), Morten Svenstrup (cello), Morten Larsen (drums), Stine Sørensen (drums), and Anders Stochholm (band doctor).
