daniel norgren, “black vultures”
from: buck, 2013
“I got no place to go, but I dont wanna go anyway
Til the day I die I guess this is just how it will stay
Black vultures in the air
Black vultures in the air
I like to ride old-pick-up trucks
For a while it takes away the feeling of beeing stung
Black vultures in the air
Black vultures in the air
At night I get drunk and think of a girl that I know
I sleep in my clothes and I wake up alone
Black vultures in the air
Black vultures in the air
Ahh, black vultures in the air
Black vultures in the air”
He sounds like he could be from Memphis but he’s from Sweden. What does places you could be from really mean anyway? Everything and nothing. Either way what a great record cover on this one “Woo Dang,”from 2019. Colorful, playfull, enormously human. If they got soul brewing like this in Scandanavia, let me at em. Dan is loose as a goose and his originality does not take its foot off whatever it is that it’s on. “Black Vultures” comes from some familiar U.S. places. Soul accordion, that beat, a high pitched falsetto almost like a guitar string being plucked and the noise of a thunder storm bringing it on home. Suggest 30 listens!
