Menke is a multi-instrumentalist hailing from Sweden and on her debut track, “Moln”, she revisits a famous traditional poem from Karin Boyes. According to Conversations About Her, the artist was brought to our ears by Greek-Swedish DJ and producer Steve Angello as he got her signed to Size. “Moln” is an amazing debut track and its arrangements are so delicate and caressing that we immediately forget that we don’t understand a single word of it.

There are now visuals to go with “Moln” and it’s a perfect fit. Menke‘s video clip is both peaceful and mysterious as we join the artist in the depth of a foggy forest. The action is slow and invites you to take a break to fully embrace it. It’s a moment of sylvan mindfulness and also a real pleasure to see this tall and almost unreal creature (sorry Menke) being faded away by a mystical haze.

We don’t know a lot about Menke except that this Swedish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist can play piano, guitar, banjo, cello, vibraphone but also the lyre and wine glasses. By chance, Karin Boye‘s poem has been translated so we know that it is about clouds, evening prayer, morning song, dreams, and recovery. We won’t take the risk to go further in the interpretation of the lyrics but what we can claim though is that the track comes with solid and oneiric arrangements and that Menke‘s voice can stop the time and bring you to another place in an instant. If you don’t believe us, close your eyes and enjoy the trip.
