Fact #122800

Big Bang-type techno-geeks out there may already know that a balun is an electrical device which "converts between a balanced signal and an unbalanced signal". I had to look it up and I still don’t quite understand. What I do understand is that this is a stunningly lovely hi-tech electronic pop album by Swedish singer-songwriter and innovator Cornelia Dahlgren. Not only does Dahlgren possess a gorgeous voice, but she writes songs infused with Bjork-like imagination and records them via her laptop, anywhere from kitchens to church halls. She won’t immediately have any international EDM smash hits, but she will stretch your mind. Balun is also available as a "limited edition audio poster". This may just be the future.
