“When” is Norwegian artist Lars Pedersen. Lars has brought back 60s psychadelia, whilst exploring a sort of happy, cartoonists, pop ballad experience. Resembling “Olivia Tremor Control” and “The Dreamies” somewhat, “Trippy Happy” (2007) seems to be the perfect album to play on a summer’s day. Having released their debut “Drowning but Learning” in 1987, one can only begin to speculate why “When” isn’t “big”, when they have so many great albums already under their belt. Featuring appearances by Haakon Ellington of the Last James on banjo, voices, and piano and Øyvind Borgemoen on accordion/piano, this album is well worth your time and money.
83/100.
