Title: Gro Mig En Blomst
Artist: Oster, Astrid
Label: Grapefruit
Product Type: VINYL LP
UPC: 600197612316
Genre: Rock

One first heard the Danish artist Astrid Øster Mortensen as a surprise guest vocalist on Gustaf Dicksson's Blod album, Missväxt, which Grapefruit released in 2021. New in Gothenburg, the Denmark-born Mortensen had been frequenting the Discreet Music shop where various musicians of the underground scene communed and shared their latest projects. Learning that she was a musician too, Dicksson asked Mortensen to contribute vocals to Missväxt and it wasn't long before she handed over a master of her own music which completely floored everyone in the scene who heard it. The recordings eventually materialized as Gro Mig en Blomst. An LP which was released in a very small edition on Dicksson's Förlag För Fri Musik label in March of 2021, causing a sensation of wonder and well-earned praise and some panic due to it's scarcity.Gro Mig en Blomst is at once wholly immersive and something quite rare-an infectious collection of essentially experimental music derived from familiar organic sounds stitched together with delicate, sometimes improvised music, poetry, and haunting folk melodies. Akin to the pastiches composed by the equally enchanting Gothenburg collective, Enhet For Fri Musik, Mortensen's album is mysteriously irresistible despite offering what most would consider a challenging listen. It immediately became an essential release and sold through it's 300 copies quickly before the ink was even dry on the superlative reviews. So, it was with great pride and pleasure that Grapefruit worked closely with her to offer this new reissue.Herein one will find songs which often begin with chatter and ambient sound, with Mortensen seemingly extracting beauty from the random and chaotic, splicing in snippets of birdsong and rainfall as well as electronic noises. It might be tempting to assume these songs are accidental, wholly improvised, or captured moments due to the ephemeral qualities of the music and the ease of execution which lure us into the world Mortensen has created. But, it is actually evidence of the skill and finesse of a confident artist in full command of her medium.
