Report: Havdis - A fresh breeze of ambience from Norway

Discovered purely by chance in the sometimes seemingly never endless realm of the netlabel community sits this wonderful little ambient pearl from northern Norway. Havdis creates achingly beautiful aural paintings of a coastal world with streaks of romanticism and melancholy, though it is really up to you as the listener to discover what mood it sets upon you. Find this album on Mixgalaxy Records and then proceed to visit the artist's Soundcloud page for more downloadable material.
