The Migrant
Danish/Texan explorer ready with new album...
Moniker of Denmark songwriter Bjarke Bendtsen and the varying collection of musicians he cobbles together, The Migrant wanders through folkpop tunes with an elastic, psychedelic haze.
After two internationally recognized albums, Amerika (2011) and Beads (2013), new LP Flood douses with broader instrumentation and more power, while maintaining Bendtsen´s meditative and lulling high trill and hypnotic, fingerpicked guitar.
Traveling through the States Bendtsen fell in love with Austin, Texas and he’s been coming back to Austin regularly since then. While backed by fellow Copenhageners on his European tours he has a group of Austinites to back him in the States.
Overseas The Migrant has supported Kurt Vile and played SXSW and CMJ Festival and in Denmark lately supported Villagers, Wild Child and The White Album.
