Description
Boy Omegas unique brand of pop is at once fragile, vibrant and wholehearted, and has drawn comparison to the likes of Elliott Smith, Sparklehorse, The Cure, Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Iron & Wine and Bright Eyes. Since he began writing songs under the Boy Omega moniker in 2003, Martin Henrik Hasselgren has put out an impressive body of work, including five full-length albums, two compilations, four EPs, and numerous singles.
Night Vision is his sixth album. The album was recorded and mixed by wunderkind Olis Eriksson at Studio Kepner Treg in Göteborg. It was mastered by Carl Saff (Unsane, Julian Lynch, Guided By Voices) in Chicago, IL.
Night Vision shows a somewhat heavier side of Boy Omegas sound with acoustic guitars being replaced by big, effect-laden electric guitars. The strings and horns stand back for an array of synthesizers, mellotrons and string machines. The electronic beats are now real live drums & the vocals sound more powerful. Its an ambitious and well-crafted album. At times it sounds almost like The Flaming Lips having a late night party with Radiohead and The Cocteau Twins.
