Anthony Krizan

Birds are better

The brainchild of Norwegian singer-songwriter Stian Fjelldal, Birds Are Better brings a unique slant to folk music with a fusion of traditional folk, power-pop, synth-rock and indie-pop.

The Other Side Reviews describes the project as a meeting between Charlie Puth and Mumford and Sons while Of Monsters and Men comes to the minds of Nordic Music Central and Music To Blame.

Fjelldal himself is a huge fan of artists like Fleet Foxes and Loney Dear and you might be able to spot Birds Are Better somewhere in between.

The project was launched this fall and “Marigold” is his second single. More singles will come before the debut album release in 2023.

Stigma

"Last Order" – latest release by Stigma. Five punchy, intense songs about the joy of living and celebrating, inviting to sing along.

"Long Way", a song by bikers for bikers. It celebrates the fun of motorcycling and authentically conveys the freedom in the saddle.

In "Break Them All" a fighter bravely overcomes her opponents – and herself. Powerful and 'in the face' like the protagonist herself.

"Time": In the band’s opinion, life is too short to struggle with nonsense, which leads to a stunning anthem for 'no compromise'.

Lies and propaganda are being addressed in the song "Lies of War". The truth dies first in war, and if you weren’t aware of that, you should listen to this metal-track with all senses open.

"Deadline" is an intense song about these moments in life where it gets tight. The band deals with the subject of mortality in a thoughtful and haunting manner.
