Comments Petter: “Shadowcasters is an intens short track about slowing things down. We’re going too fast. It’s not healthy for anyone. I like the contradiction between the topic and the speed”
PIL & BUE (eng: Arrow & Bow). Let’s head north, way above the arctic circle in Norway. Pil & Bue’s album “You Have Chosen Darkness” is set for release on February 27.
The album was recorded at Kysten Studio in Tromsø, together with co-producer, engineer and mixer Ariel Joshua Sivertsen. The album, consisting of seven tracks, is a journey through emotions. It speaks about the times we live in, and a feeling of overwhelmingness.
Pil & Bue is a two-piece, consisting of Petter Carlsen (the arrow) and Goeran Johansen (the bow).
With subtle, but pronounced references to artists like Metallica, Radiohead, A Perfect Circle, Anathema
