Leif Vollebekk is a philosophy student turned troubadour who marries Carl Jung’s I Ching musings and Wittgenstein’s love of language with the lyrical poetry of Bob Dylan on the aptly named Revelation, a product of the introspection brought on by the lockdown.
The 11 tracks, including a pair of orchestrated, cinematic set pieces, evoke the narrative skills of fellow countrymen Leonard Cohen and Gordon Lightfoot, the crystalline sound of The Eagles, married to the lush pop of Nick Drake and Scott Walker. The completed work, organic, earthy and homemade, weaves themes of nature — water, astral constellations, mortality – into a meditation on living in an ever-changing present laced with existential doubt, the search for a higher power.
