First Floor

Densely constructed, intricately detailed and decidedly wintery, Salt og Vind is the latest album from Norwegian ambient outfit Pjusk—it’s also the project’s first release as a solo act after more than 15 years as a duo—and “Febertanker” perfectly encapsulates the record’s chilly aura, combining jittery percussive outbursts, echo-laden crunch, plinking melodies and rumbling bass tones in a thick, reverb-laden stew.
