DanishTexan explorer ready with new roaring album Flood - Moniker of Denmark songwriter Bjarke Bendtsen and the varying collection of musicians he cobbles together, The Migrant wanders through folkpop tunes with an elastic, psychedelic haze. After two internationally recognized albums, Amerika (2011) and Beads (2013), new album Flood douses with broader instrumentation and more power, while maintaining Bendtsen's meditative and lulling high trill and hypnotic, fingerpicked guitar. Travelling through the States Bendtsen fell in love with Austin, Texas and he’s been coming back to Austin regularly since then. While backed by fellow Copenhageners on his European tours he has a group of Austinites to back him in the States. Overseas The Migrant has supported Kurt Vile and played SXSW and CMJ Festival and in Denmark lately supported Villagers, Wild Child and The White Album. Bendtsen & Co. will hit the road again after the release of Flood in January 2015.
