LISTEN: Norway’s Simon Mitlid Makes Melancholic Gold On “December, 1999”

Hailing from the lush woods of Os, Norway, singer-songwriter Simen Mitlid crafts lush, Nordic indie-folk. Since his critically acclaimed 2017 debut record Everything Is the Same and his sophomore effort “Neutral” in 2019, Mitlid has been working on his third full-length release.

Check out Mitlid’s new Christmas song “December, 1999.” Mitlid possesses a soothing vibrato and a gift of layering vocals to create lush and stunning harmonies. Over an upbeat bed of acoustic guitar and synthesizers, Mitlid croons with cavernous emotion and genuine conviction. Mitlid has built a sizable organic international listenership with his Nick Drake-esque tranquil folk songs.
