Info:
Fred und Luna have always had a preference for symmetry. Reflected in their cover motifs and, on the current album, in the length of the musical pieces, which are all around the five-minute zone.
"Im Fünfminutentakt", accordingly the name of their latest creation, is "Fred und Luna’s" fourth longplayer, an exquisite selection of contemporary instrumental and vocal pieces with a sensitive feel for repetitive rhythms, enchanting melodies and mesmerizing sounds.
Particularly noteworthy are "Es ist so schön" (“It’s wunderschön”/”C’est wunderbar”), a piece sung in three languages (with its sensitive feeling for the joy of seeing your loved ones again after months of loneliness caused by the pandemic) and the dancefloor-oriented "Tanz mit mir" (“Dance With Me”), that gives an idea of how much even computer-like voices can awaken desires and dreams.

Who are Fred und Luna?
"Fred und Luna" are two mannequins living in a fashion boutique in Karlsruhe, Germany. They serve as muse for musician, poet and photo/video maker Rainer Buchmüller.
Inspired by his doll friends and his love for German electronic music of the past decades, Rainer Buchmüller under the name “Fred und Luna” produces his self-created genres Elektrokraut and Krautelektro: both a modern adventurous journey with a combination of motorik beats, electronic soundscapes and elements of the Krautrock era.

Sean La’Brooy is an Australian producer and composer cur- rently based in New York, who’s work traverses ambient, jazz and house music. He is the co-founder of Australian ambient label Analogue Attic Recordings.

With this release, La’Brooy has hooked up with the Scissor and Thread label to put out Merchant - five dreamy and versatile tracks featuring his distinct style of harmonically complex pads mixed with jazz-influenced instrumental melodies and solos.
Snow Storm starts the journey, coupling field recordings with snippets of gentle jazz lines and wandering percussion.

Cargo is the most dancefloor-oriented of the release, and locks into a driving groove early on, featuring various synth and pia- no fragments to add and flow through the track.

Pilot is a track that also finds an off-kilter groove, embellished with dubbed-out percussion by fellow Australian Joseph Batrouney and samples.

Storage too features a guest - New York based drummer Leo Yucht - who delivers a rolling breakbeat which is intertwined with live percussion, airy pads and snippets of piano to build a rich atmosphere.

The closing piece is Helipad, a dubby bassline providing the anchor for an intricate rhythm of bongos and synth to support a light-as-a-feather melody.

As Sean explains, “The purpose of this record was to create five tracks that each feel unique and distinctive from each other while still maintaining a common thread that connects them all to the same place. All my favorite records have a certain distinctiveness across each track that ties them together to create a sort of family of works. I think if you can achieve that cohesion, you’ve made a great album. With Merchant, I’ve tried my hardest to establish a unique identity while featuring 5 tracks that feel totally different at the same time. Different con- cepts, genres, tempos, instrumentation, still with a red thread to connect them all. In my mind, those commonalities are defined by a particular mood or sentiment, the use of playful melodies, and a reliance on acoustic rhythms throughout”.

A surge of movement where each spark breathes with radiant force, rising and dissolving in waves of pure momentum. The pulse expands uncontrollably, yet retains a beautiful precision, a balance between chaos and clarity. Energy becomes language: fluid, infinite, and alive in all directions.
