Ambience, corporality and our connection to the natural world make up the defining themes of Norwegian artist Gundelach’s sophomore LP, My Frail Body. A calmer, more contemplative affair than 2018’s acclaimed Baltus. Due for release in the spring of 2020, My Frail Body came together during an intense summer and fall touring and recording in Europe. At the time, Gundelach's girlfriend was pregnant with the couple’s first child – a life event that has helped permeate the record with a new sense of clarity and direction. While his previous output has centred on the melancholy undercurrents of love and longing, the artist says he is now at a point where things feel more grounded. While My Frail Body reflects Gundelach’s evolution as an artist, it still maintains strong elements of his background as both guitarist and mainstay DJ on Oslo’s club scene. The latter is apparent both on the album’s drum and bass-indebted title track, which features long-time collaborator Bendik HK, as well as on the slow-building dancefloor anthem “Cynical Mind”, where Gundelach pairs up with Norwegian pop sensation Aurora. Since releasing his eponymous first EP in 2016, Gundelach has gone from strength to strength, earning critical acclaim and two Norwegian Grammy nominations for his debut record. He has toured extensively and headlined Øya Festival to rave reviews.
