Stian Westerhus: Redundance

Redundance is a mesmerizing cry of de?ance, a cathartic throwing o? of des-tiny. Westerhus shares the same singularity of vision, commitment to boundary- pushing and talent for avant-rock ear-wormery as artists such as Nick Cave, Scott Walker and David Bowie. On the strength of this album, it doesn't feel hyperbolic to include him in such exalted company.
