Nils Bech - One Year (2014)

Third album by the outstanding pop artist Nils Bech. The first video, Trip Abroad, was premiered at V-Magazine. The second video, I Punish You, was premiered at Dazed Digital. UK press by Debbie Ball at Create Spark. With One Year Bech takes us on a journey through his own life, more specifically the first year after he met his current boyfriend. The story is told in two parts; "Before" and "after". Where the first half describes the early days after meeting the man of his dreams, and all the insecurity and fear this causes. Part two deals with the shame and jealousy that followed the infamous words he had longed to hear: I love you. Musically speaking, Bech continues already fruit-bearing collaborations from his earlier career. But at the same time he's also most definitely breaking new musical ground. Names such as Martin Horntveth (Jaga Jazzist), Adne Meisfjord (120 Days, Serena Maneesh), Ost & Kjex and Andre Bratten are all contributing on One Year. The result is - by some distance - the most extrovert and accessible piece of music Nils Bech has made to date.
