I last left Tusmørke in 2017 (Tusmorke if searching in English) after Hinsides, which was their 4th album. This is their latest, and Tusmørke are already on their 9th album (!). I was yin and yang on those first quartet of works, having enjoyed the debut and their 3rd, but the other two were perhaps a bit too folky/singy. Given that Nordisk Krim clocks in at over 80 minutes, it would seem that we'll likely get the entire Tusmørke repertoire. And more or less, that's exactly what this album brings. You can read my reviews of the others and have an idea of the sound here. Flute remains a key ingredient, and that's their best asset IMO. If you're new to the group, this wouldn't be a bad place to enter, even though this comes late in their career. At this stage of my own collecting career, it's getting to the point that even an "excellent" rating isn't moving the needle much. I need some wow moments, which Nordisk Krim lacks. But how can I say it isn't great? I don't know if I'll keep all 5 albums that I own by them, but this won't be the first out the door either.
Ownership: LP: 2021 Karisma. Gatefold. 2xLP. Magenta colored vinyl. Limited edition of 666 (a tiresome and unoriginal number).
5/9/22 (first listen / review / new entry)
