“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.

TR/ST "Are We Arc?"

Symphonica Electrica is a new pop-cultural experiment:
a fusion of Classical music, Techno, Pop and Rap, brought together into a single electric creation.
Like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, something both monstrous and beautiful comes to life here — a sonic being stitched from voltage, rhythm and symphony.

The album blends epic arias with modern club pressure, orchestral force with futuristic hooks, shaping a world where ancient elegance merges with new-age energy.

A virtuosic journey into new symphonies — loud, alive and electrified.

Debut track from AUSTRA. Out November 16th on ONE BIG SILENCE in North America. 

01 BEAT AND THE PULSE

i first heard iamamiwhoami at a restaurant in london a few years ago.  after hearing them i emailed my manager, eric, and asked 'have you heard of this band iamamiwhoami?' and he wrote back, 'yes, we manage them'.  

when they asked me to do a remix for them i happily said 'yes', as i'm a fan of theirs.  and when i heard the song they wanted me to remix i realized that i didn't want to deconstruct it and change it, but rather just add melodic and structural elements to it, to enhance what they'd already done.

“Garden of Love” is 5 years old. 5 years that his songs have accompanied us, like evidence. The 4th album of Scratch Massive entered our intimacy, met its audience, a large audience, and the passage of time has succeeded. His romantic and dark compositions - we can cite "Last Dance", "Sunken" or "Dancer in the Dark" - have become classics that we have heard as soundtracks on feature films, series and fashion shows. “Last Dance” sung by Maud Geffray has become a cult and transgenerational title by illustrating the first kiss of Elliot and Lucas, the two heroes of the teen series “Skam”.

To celebrate the 5th anniversary of "Garden Of Love", Scratch Massive offers us here a Deluxe version containing 5 unreleased tracks, recorded in Los Angeles during the album's studio sessions. There we find the majestic “Love Streams” Feat Grindi Manberg in its sung and instrumental version. Then come 2 unreleased demos of "Pray" by the group, and finally "Hollywood Boulevard", a nighttime ballad in a fantasy L.A., the city where the album "Garden of Love" was thought and composed.

This Deluxe anniversary version skilfully completes the group's 4th LP and makes us wait before the next one, scheduled for 2024.
