 A Brighter Kind Of Blue will make you feel good if you start from the premise that it is a good project, but not a masterpiece.

 I strongly recommend listening to it on a gray and gloomy day, perhaps drizzly… it will warm you and make more of an impact.

Terje Nordgarden’s 'A Brighter Kind Of Blue' delivers a decent indie-folk acoustic album with warm instrumentation and heartfelt tributes to Jeff Buckley and Elliott Smith. The album feels intimate and sparse, creating a pleasant but not groundbreaking listening experience. Nordgarden’s background living in Florence and his evolving musicality add charm, yet the record occasionally falls on the edge of sufficiency. Recommended for relaxed listening, especially on gloomy days. Listen to Terje Nordgarden’s cozy indie-folk journey—perfect for those quiet, rainy days.
