Novozero. Anna and Andreas, up there in Tromsø, sending out signals. This single, “To All The Times,” arrives sounding less like a postcard from the Arctic Circle and more like a transmission intercepted from a satellite caught between decades. There’s a definite gravity here – fuzz bass anchoring washes of synth that shimmer and pulse, guitars that chime before they roar. It’s big rock music, no doubt, built with bits of post-punk blueprints and 80s neon gloss.

Anna’s voice isn’t just navigating this soundscape; it feels like the force holding it together, strong and clear amidst the electronic swirl and eventual beautiful chaos of colliding instruments. And yes, there are guitar solos that actually feel earned, not just tacked on. Remember actual guitar solos? Strange times.

But the core… it’s looking back, isn’t it? That feeling of watching your own past actions like a slightly confusing foreign film. Someone’s trying to tell you it’s alright, but the dialogue gets muffled as you retreat into your own head, your own room. There’s a profound sense of waiting embedded in the track – waiting for things to change, for a specific moment, or just enduring the ticking clock. It reminds me, oddly, of the specific quiet in a museum exhibit about extinct birds. You know the ending, but you look anyway.

This reflection, this internal processing, apparently warps the view. The lyrics suggest a world made strange, maybe beautiful, maybe just… different, after digging through those past moments, those perceived misses. It’s the sound of accepting the wait, while still wanting connection.

What does it leave you with? A residue, perhaps. A sudden urge to pay closer attention to the edges of things happening right now.
