2009 release from the Danish duo. Over a century ago, Norwegian author Knut Hamsun proposed a new creative ideal, a form of literature that would take the intricacies of the human mind as its main object, effectively describing the whisper of the blood and the pleading of the bone marrow. One hundred-plus years later, avid Hamsun devotees Syntaks have taken up Hamsun"s agenda with single-minded purpose, naming their new album after a character in Hamsun novel Hunger, recording it just blocks from where Hamsun wrote his masterpiece, and taking the author"s ambitious mission statement as their own.
