Earlier this year Norwegian musician/performance artist Nils Bech released his second album Look Inside to almost universal praise. This Thursday (February 28), Bech brings his unconventional live show to the suitably arty ICA. Punters can expect ‘rituals performed with and within works by artists Eirik Sæther and Ida Ekblad’ expressed through ‘voice, music, movement and text’.

Today we have an exclusive first UK play of his new single, the title track of said album. Bech’s vocal delivery is endearingly honest, like having an emotionally frank conversation with someone you haven’t been close to before, but have always wanted to know more about, with a sprinkling of Pet Shop Boys’ matter-of-factness.
