Weekend Playlist - 29th July

“Lost”, much like its predecessor “Into the Great Wide Yonder” (2010), serves not only as a logical continuation of his work, but also as yet another fuck-you to whatever genre you thought you had him boxed into. The Trentemøller sound is definitely left intact, yet as a whole it really doesn’t sound like anything he’s ever produced before. Few artists seem to possess that special talent of leaving the audience just as baffled as they are satisfied, but hey, that’s what’s great about Anders. He may alienate a few heads along the way, but it wouldn’t be interesting for him if he didn’t.

“People wanted something similar to the last album, but if you’re getting to the point of listening to people and what they think of your sound...Well, that's not for me.”  -Trentemøller

“Lost” boasts a dozen tracks with something of interest for anyone who’s ever been a fan of the Copenhagen based producer. You can’t really compare it to “The Last Resort”, but the club elements are there. It definitely isn’t “Into the Great Wide Yonder” either, even if it’s equally guitar driven. It’s as original as it is classic, mixing the tried and tested with all sorts of sonic surprises. And making it look easy in the process.

Differing from “Into The Great Wide Yonder”, which was a rather bold cinematic landscape, “Lost” is definitely a far more streamlined affair and way more “song structured”. It’s the kind of record one can only produce after endless months of studio isolation. Just where his creativity flourishes best.

That said Trentemøller has also found a new home – and it’s on stage with a band. “Lost” relays this epiphany in pitch perfect circumstances, finally merging the extrovert and introvert qualities the man has in his command.

Of course, none of his productions would be complete without those unique guest appearances, spanning a multitude of musical categories. They’re all given equal treatment when they’re dropped bang center into the middle of Trentemøller's very own musical universe, having to harness the potential of their talent on Trentemøller’s terms. It certainly isn’t that many folks who are capable of convincing Jonny Pierce (The Drums) or Sune Wagner (The Raveonettes) to appear on a club track and even fewer who are able to pull it off. Anders is in the top percentile of that lot. 

”I think it’s fun to take people out of their own musical comfort zone” he exclaimed to VICE earlier in the year when explaining his seemingly erratic choices. ”Actually, when I begun writing the songs, I had their voices in my mind all along. They just didn’t know it.”

Aside from Sune and Jonny, Trentemøller has managed to bring on board a whole rake of fantastic peers, personal influences and sprouting talent. Co-conspirators such as Kazu Makino (Blonde Redhead), Jana Hunter (Lower Dens), Marie Fisker, Ghost Society and none other than the legendary slow-core pioneers Low are all to be found on the record.

That trademark haunting feeling that defined both ”The Last Resort” and ”Into the Great Wide Yonder” hasn’t been neglected on “Lost”. It’s just been redefined and made way more ferocious, the signature glitchy bass being replaced by sub woofer frequencies far more pounding. Almost punk rock. Instantly conjuring up thoughts of the more droning SUICIDE tracks or even contemporaries like The Soft Moon.

”Lost” documents an artist really hitting his stride. An intricate musical tapestry woven over countless sleepless nights in his Copenhagen studio. Nights invested in instrument experimentation and trashed analog consoles.

You can without a shadow of doubt call this release a genuine study in the art of attention to detail. No matter how many times you press play on this one you’re going to find something you missed the previous time around. Something that suddenly shines a whole new light on what you’re listening to.

Trentemøller - Come Undone (feat. Kazu Makino of Blonde Redhead) [Clip]

Trentemøller - Deceive (feat. Sune Rose Wagner of The Raveonettes) [Clip]

‘Gravity’ is the third single taken from the new third studio album ‘Lost’ by Trentemøller. With the drum setting inspired by early Krautrock this wonderful and mulitlayered song still breathes the Trentemøller signature. The vocals have been contributed by Jana Hunter, singer of Baltimore based band ‘Lower Dens’ and melt perfectly with ‘Gravity’.

On the B-side we’ll find a remix by Copenhagen & Berlin based band Pinkunoizu who are currently stirring a buzz with their new album ‘The Drop’. Their version puts the song in a new light with re-arranged drums and a hypnotic build.

DIIV // Is The Is Are

here comes the light
that i've desired 
drowning the dark
why do i feel so terrified

sick of this skin
of choking on pride
lost in the pressure of the moment 
so much pleasure that's been stolen

everything i know is slipping away from me
no more resistance
i can do without 

here comes the light searching for me
drowning out the darkness that i live inside
why do i try to hide

will i let it break me open?
there's a violence to this growing
love tear me apart, tear me apart, tear me apart

everything i know is slipping away from me 
no more resistance
i can do without

track 3 from EP '2016 - The Future Sound Of Retro'

LO-Fi FUN FACTORY - Inexplicable Green

The "If You’re on the Water" EP, while self-released, is The Saxophones' first studio recording. It was recorded and mixed on an analog Toft console by Cameron Spies of Radiation City over the course of a spring week in Portland, Oregon. It features Alexi Erenkov on guitar, vocals, and woodwinds; his wife, Alison Alderdice on percussion and vocals; and his longtime friend and collaborator Richard Laws on bass, vibes, and Crumar synthesizer. 

The title track was inspired by a summer week that saw suicide, the transition of a relationship, and Alexi and his Father’s near death experience in a boating accident. The album pays tribute to the currents of beauty, sorrow and regret that run through our lives.

If You're on the Water

Newly Ordered World exemplifies the playful side of our second LP Iron Heart. It's a catchy irresistible gem that you'd expect from Manic Pixi a la our debut album Sugar Bomb. But the lyrics get darker- more real. The instrumentals more complex. Newly Ordered World is the hard truths in poppy packaging- that's what we love about it

School is back in session! A decade removed from our acclaimed Homeschooled compilation comes a new class of talent show titans. With enterprising parents, neighbors, and teachers turning play dates into recording dates, groups like Magical Connection, Little Man and the Inquires, and Five Ounces of Soul emulated the Jacksons, who'd made grade-school stardom appear easy as ABC. Afterschool Special: The 123s Of Kid Soul contains 19 tiny tunes ranging from bilingual D.A.R.E. anthem, to James Brown bio, to young love and life beyond the playground.

It's raining out on Kipling avenue
I'd rather be in Malibu
I'd rather be in front of you 
And I'm weighing everything I wanna do
With everything I'm going through
I'm underwhelmed, I'm overdue 

Truth be told I'm just riding the clock
While I'm waiting for something better
Cause one day I'll turn to chalk on the sidewalk
That washes away with the weather
Don't wanna stay in this town forever

And I'm trying to connect the dots
but I'm getting lost, I'm getting lost
Between A and B, 2 and 3
Nothing's making sense to me
And I'm trying to believe in fate
but it's getting late, it's getting late
And the longer I wait the more aimless it all seems

Persuading every bird up in the sky
To try and teach me how to fly
Cause I like what it signifies 
They're saying to get a bar and set it high
But I'm just barely getting by
Forever saying nevermind, or another time

Truth be told I'm just riding the clock
While I'm waiting for something better
Cause one day I'll turn to chalk on the sidewalk
That washes away with the weather
Don't wanna stay in this town forever

And I'm trying to connect the dots
But I'm getting lost, I'm getting lost
Between A and B, 2 and 3
Nothing's making sense to me
And I'm trying to believe in fate
But it's getting late, it's getting late
And the longer I wait the more aimless it all seems
It's getting late for me

And I'm trying to connect the dots
But I'm getting lost, I'm getting lost
Between A and B, 2 and 3
Nothing's making sense to me
And I'm trying to believe in fate
But it's getting late, it's getting late
And the longer I wait the more aimless it all seems

It's Getting Late

Song Of The Day - @bestfitmusic - http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/new-music/song-of-the-day/the-slow-revolt-lean

'The Slow Revolt, has been previously hailed for his flawless contrasting of genres. His newest track “Lean” is another plunge pool into the enchanting sound of beautiful tranquility and lovely layers.

The consistent guitar melody opens the track into a misty landscape of morning dew and seaside freshness, complete with subtle bursts of distorted guitars and a building tension of unpredictable electronica percussion. Mirza’s enchanting vocals bounce beautifully across the layered melodies, building in each bar to a pinnacle of bubbling sounds, changing the scenery from an empty landscape to a busy crossroads of texturised sounds.

Whilst maintaining his soft vocals throughout, the instrumentals in “Lean” carry the textured tension, blending beautifully into a melodic chaos that seems both unnerving and utterly soothing at the same time.'

'Lean' is the first in a series of tracks; experiments, curiosities & versions, culled from ongoing writing sessions.
