Listen: Hanne Kolstø – “One Plus One Makes One Out Of Two”
An understated pop gem, “One Plus One Makes One Out Of Two” is the first taste of Hanne Kolstø’s forthcoming album Stillness and Panic, due out on 14 April in the UK. Her third solo album in as many years, we’re slightly ashamed that we’re only just coming across the Norwegian Grammy nominated artist now but there’s nothing quite like making up for lost time.
Built around Kolstø’s distorted, ever so slightly off key vocals “One Plus One Makes One Out Of Two” is as beautiful as it is ugly. Shuddering into life with creeping electronic noises and rolling percussion claps, the quietly poppy offering is soon bolstered by looping synths before a string of harsh yet irresistibly smooth and jubilant hooks escape Kolstø’s lungs as if her life depended upon it. A few spins later and we’re damned if we’re not doing the same.
Stillness and Panic will be released on 14 April in the UK.
