The Whitest Boy Alive in a Golden Cage

Filed under: *fantasy, erlend oye

tune: The Whitest Boy Alive - Golden Cage (Fred Falke Remix)

album: Golden Cage 12" (Modular Recordings, 2008)

scene: A reliable world of gray and cool, with field of sighing brush extending to the edges of the curved earth. At the edges, a cage springs up from all sides its tattered surface suggesting long-ignored exit. It’s safe in here, quiet, for Wanda and her solitude.

I will never get enough of Erlend Oye’s lovely voice. He accompanies me to all sorts of places, through all sorts of moods, as I tramp about my world with him on my headphones.
