Air conditioned tent. I have a lot of gray hair. There’s no need to rush. Only 3 performances. Ends at 1:00am. Silence. Record sales stopped. Mostly vinyl and some compacts. The public carefully chooses which bins to dispose of waste. Although it is a plastic glass, it is a glass for drinking wine. The stages are unique and close. Bar without crowds. And the central reason for this problem is the very good music. No, it doesn’t seem like a festival, a concept associated with young people, people coming and going, multiple stimuli, overwhelming advertising, crazy costumes to stand out among the masses or to instigate courtship rituals. It was the first day of the Faroe Festival, and in another unusual pirouette, the first two attractions, Weather Station and the Jayhawks, won, but lost some of the audience to theoretical headliners and the last act to play, The Tallest Man on Hearth. Just when everything seems invented, someone realizes it’s not.
Another finding, this was not very kind. Adult audience members also spoke well during the concert, and it wasn’t just a lack of politeness attributed to the youngest audience members. Weather Station’s music relied primarily on the warm, almost whisper-like voice of its leader and composer, Canadian Tamara Lindemann, and needed to be shared with the buzz of conversation among the audience. The delicacy, the beauty of the composition, the beauty of the arrangement, sometimes jazziesthe subtlety of saxophone and flute and piano and the packaging of his repertoire silenced those conversations and eventually spread.
Already a seven-album project, its folk records with a pronounced pop derivation are reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac, and the delicate touch of its songs fits perfectly with Fellows’ idea of music that should be listened to in a comfortable environment without the hustle and bustle. People who are more attentive while sitting. topics like parking Either body movements They stood out in a short one-hour repertoire dedicated to internalizing the context of texts that talk about coping with climate change and mental balance. Beauty with crumbs.
After a 30-minute break to stroll through Pueblo Español’s central plaza, where tents were set up, the Jayhawks, the only real thing among the curious venues, heightened the evening’s atmosphere with the scent of the American prairie. A proposal with country soul, pop finishes, and rock nerves, it instilled a vivid melancholy among the notables who were at the peak of their influx at the time. Furthermore, as soon as word of mouth and ears spread, 1,000 people gathered, and they have promised that future editions of the festival will not exceed 3,000 people. Comfort is the Faroese’s uncompromising desire. Without fanfare, the veteran band from Minneapolis performed a mid-tempo repertoire that included new songs and sure-fire hits like the shortlist that rounded out a good concert. will run away, blue and received lots of applause bad timesthe version of grand funk railroad It speaks of love without repercussions or reciprocity. A beautiful lament from an audience that has largely moved on from the hormonal turmoil of falling in love, but for whom love still has meaning. It has a different meaning, but it’s a feeling.
And finally, we have the dynamic, gestural folk singer-songwriter. We would like to share anecdotes and comments with acoustics as our only partner. His name is Christian Mattsson and he calls himself “the tallest man at Haas”. He’s Swedish and loves Dylan. The crowds were no longer as large as the Jayhawks, but that kept them very focused on their tenaciously defended acoustic songbook. It all ended at midnight, public transport was still running, and a day that had been most transformative for other festivals was coming to a close in Faroe. Age doesn’t allow it. And for the unforgettable masses, the Faroese was born, where there are still two days left to go to the festival, almost the same as going to the cinema or theater.
