TRACK OF THE MOMENT: Kasper Bjørke feat Justin Strauss - Nothing gold can stay [hfn music]

After a three year absence, Kasper Bjørke returns to hfn music with a sublime new double EP entitled “Nothing Gold Can Stay”. Having followed a deeply personal ambient music path that last year led to the release of “Kasper Bjørke Quartet: The Fifty Eleven Project” on Kompakt Records, (named 5th Best Con- temporary Album 2018 in The Guardian), Kasper has found his way back to producing some of his signature leftfield danceable beats, which “the past decade has seen Bjørke steadily rising amongst the ranks of artful, eclectic electronic producers...”

Nothing Gold Can Stay (Part A) contains four collaborations with four friends from LA, New York and Copenhagen. Kasper asked his New York friend, the legendary Justin Strauss, to gently recite Robert Frost’s 1923 poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” over a calm in- strumental piece - rounding off the release with a gentle lullaby which reminds you, that nothing can last forever.

’Nothing gold can stay’ (Part A) was released via hfn music on October 25th, with Part B coming out this Friday, November 22nd.
