Norway’s Benedikt is set to release their third album, Why Are You Dreaming?, on April 28th. In the meantime, they’ve treated us to the new single, “Blood Moon.” This track opens with a soothing acoustic guitar and quickly pulls you in with its Sufjan Stevens-inspired vocals. The song tells a moving story of mourning someone who’s still alive, creating an emotional pull right from the start.
As the song builds, it adds layers of bass, soft percussion, and synths, creating a cinematic atmosphere. The second verse carries these elements forward, with a steady kick drum and striking piano chords adding depth. “Blood Moon” is a beautifully crafted indie folk piece, showcasing Benedikt’s strong production and performance skills. We’re excited to hear more when the album drops!
