We're extra thrilled to have Nbhap.com to premiere the new Excelsior video for the single Time Of None along a Q&A where danish Excelsior aka Anja T. Lahrmann dives into the secrets of her cross-disciplinary project! Link:https://nbhap.com/ahead/premiere-excelsior-time-of-none
"Her song Time of None is a clear example of that, a track almost classical in its dramatic structure and theatrical timing, but built using the materials and textures of modern pop." - Nbhap.com
Excelsior explores the boundaries of songwriting, technology and the body. After almost three years of work, Excelsior’s debut album, O Horizon is ready for release. O Horizon is a hypermodern blend of avant-garde sound and form experiments. Pop, baroque, and renaissance music is fused with a thematic fascination of humanity's struggle to keep up with an ever-accelerating world.

O Horizon is a part of a three-pronged, cross-disciplinary piece comprised of the album, a book set for release in the spring of 2020, and an installation in the autumn of 2020. Drawing upon geo-taxonomy and medieval bestiaries for lyrical inspiration, Excelsior conjures images of isolation in a digital age and her estrangement from nature. O Horizon is an intertwined rooting that wanders from baroque sounding videogame music on the album opener Ultramarine through the powerful Nordic chamber-pop on Time of None to pastel coloured 80's drums and synth on In Silico, and melancholic English Folk on the closing track O Horizon; Excelsior’s music is an eclectic mash anchored in a melodically curious and refreshingly complex expression.
