Kjostad - Frost Cracking Trees

Review by Don Henry

Kjostad's album Frost Cracking Trees is a mesmerizing and haunting journey through the depths of winter. The ambient soundscape is filled with icy drones that evoke a sense of desolation and isolation. The album is a perfect soundtrack for a cold winter's night, as it transports the listener to a frozen landscape where the only sounds are the cracking of trees and the howling of the wind.

The album is masterfully crafted, with each track seamlessly blending into the next. The use of field recordings adds an extra layer of depth to the sound, making the listener feel as though they are truly in the midst of a winter storm. The sparse use of instrumentation, such as the occasional guitar or piano, adds a touch of warmth to the otherwise cold and desolate soundscape.

Summary by Don Henry

Kjostad's Frost Cracking Trees is a must-listen for fans of ambient music, and anyone who appreciates the beauty and power of winter. The album is a testament to the transformative power of music, and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always beauty to be found.
