A Sound Rings True

«One of the best indie pop singer/songwriters around» - AllMusic

Norwegian indie pop veteran Dylan Mondegreen (the moniker of Børge Sildnes) returns with his sixth album, A Sound Rings True, set for release on vinyl and digital platforms on September 5, 2025.

The album was crafted over a six-year period. During a time when Sildnes faced vocal issues that left him unable to sing for a couple of years, he utilized the opportunity to hone his skills on various instruments and delve deeper into studio production techniques. The result is an album produced, mixed, and predominantly performed by Sildnes in his own small studio. Notably, the album also features contributions from musicians who have collaborated with artists like Frank Ocean, Shura, and Edwyn Collins.

If you're already familiar with Dylan Mondegreen, you'll likely find a lot that feels familiar on A Sound Rings True. While synthesizers play a more prominent role than in previous works, the music remains melodic and nostalgic—richly arranged, effortlessly delivered, and exuding elegance. Fans of classic British indie pop with a sophisticated touch are likely to appreciate this album. A Sound Rings True is pressed on vinyl in Japan and released there by Fastcut Records in co-operation with Sildnes’ own label Saiko (Diger Distro).
