In many ways, “Limit” is about being small. iamstray, the artist from Oslo, brings to life a rather endearing piece of indie rock that’s wildly eclectic in a way that’s fresh and differentiated. Limit fundamentally captures the insignificance of ourselves in a way, but in a way that’s almost celebratory and positive about it all. It’s about enjoying ourselves, zoning in on that small picture that we occupy even when the larger picture of the world around on us feels increasingly troublesome and difficult to navigate.
There’s a spark and bounce that iamstray evokes that’s groovy and funky through combining a myriad of styles that has you bopping along to its melody with eager anticipation. You enjoy yourself and this helps you fall deeper into that enjoyment of the minutia even when the larger picture feels dissociated.
