Some albums whisper; Reality by TLÖN invites you to step inside. It opens with a slow, almost cinematic breath — strings that seem to hover between dream and remembrance. There’s something ancient in the way the first notes unfold, something that feels both sacred and uncertain. Like a portal.
Sara Övinge and Gregor Riddell — the duo behind TLÖN — speak in the language of resonance and restraint. Their instruments converse, blending violin, cello, and whispers of the world outside: a sigh, a heartbeat, the hum of a room remembering. It’s electroacoustic minimalism touched by magical realism, a landscape where melody becomes memory.
Through twelve more compositions, Reality drifts and deepens — strings swell like waves, harmonies tremble between fear and release. Some passages chill, others cleanse. Each track feels like a secret being told, or perhaps a dream returning to daylight.
By the end, silence feels different — fuller somehow, charged with what’s been heard. TLÖN’s Reality is an experience that reshapes how you listen to the world.
