Morten Alsinger, initially known in Denmark’s electro and punk scenes, now embraces a raw, analog style with his debut album "Ornament" under his new project, Tralalas. This dark pop album explores themes of fragility and existential issues against a backdrop of consumerism, while its name hints at the balance between beauty and darkness, referenced from Hubert Selby Jr.’s novel Last Exit to Brooklyn. Collaborating with Thomas Golsen, Francis Nørgaard Jensen, Heidi Lindahl, and producer Thomas Li, Alsinger envisions "Ornament" as a continuous evolution rather than a final product, marking a new phase in his artistic journey.
As we reflect on the themes of loss and consumerism presented in "Ornament", how do you think the tension between beauty and darkness influences our perception of music and art in today’s society?
