Ickmusic Calls Leif Vollebekk’s “Sunset Boulevard Expedition” A Masterpiece

Ickmusic likes “Sunset Boulevard Expedition,” from Leif Vollebekk‘s new album Revelation. “Inject this into my veins and let me live in this track for a few days, please! A slow-building melancholic monster of a tune, 8 minutes and 19 seconds of bittersweet and wistful beauty. The transition mid-song to the dreamy refrain: If I have to live without you / I’m just gonna dream about you / I’m not gonna let you fade away / I’m not made that way – with accompaniment by the Brooklyn Youth Chorus and the heavenly swells of Sara Pagé‘s harp. The spoken words of the final moments. The genuine ACHE he feels, and the way the song just washes over me as I listen.” Read more here.
