Working from his coastal base on Bømlo, Norwegian songwriter Åsmund Nesse has just released his new album, Indiemann, which is a striking folk-rock statement made entirely on his own terms. The record pivots on his dazzling acoustic technique, where intricate fingerpicking carries as much meaning as the melodies.
Lyrically, Åsmund balances defiant social commentary with hushed reflections on loss and reconciliation, shifting moods with ease. Sparse, shadowed folk passages suddenly ignite into gritty electric surges, all delivered in the unapologetic Bømlo dialect. Stikke du innom captures the album’s tension perfectly, pairing introspective words with ferocious riffs, supported by a finely chosen circle of collaborators that broaden the record’s emotional reach overall.
Check out Indiemann below.
