Art Alfie 'Reveries Of Art Alfie' (Studio Barnhus)

The curious deep house sounds of Swede Art Alfie are a perfect match for Studio Barnhus, a label that excels at offering music which takes you through the looking glass. His debut LP (which is stitched together from archival works old and new) is a 10-track collection of heartfelt, late-night groovers: it’s curious and whimsical throughout, as melodies drift by like wisps of smoke, naive piano chords bring loveable charm and imperfect field recordings add layers of intrigue. From swaggering and stoned to calypso-tinged and dubby via soul-soothing lullabies, this is a complete and personal exploration of tender house; fans of Barnhus label boss Axel Boman and Smallville champ Moomin are sure to love it.
