Arrange.

A bit of the noisy bedroom pop, a bit of the atmospheric ambient and finally a tiny bit of shoegaze mixed in: “There’s a little bit of something for everyone here”,  Arrange describes his newest piece Quiet State. I assume many of you might be somehow unfamiliar with the moniker behind it; the 18 year old Malcom Lacey hailing from sunny Florida, but in fact he has been uploading EP-s on his bandcamp since as early as back in June last year. It remains to me a mystery why we haven’t heard more about him already, considering the fact that I was literally blown away by the blooming and honest beauty of his newest mini-LP. In fact, I find the album sounding a lot more ‘Nordic’ than anything that has been coming out of the US lately, with the second track Staring At The Ceiling (below), even has that cold, Scandinavian feel to it that I love oh so much.
