Copy of David Lynch & Angelo Badalamenti (Covers)

for the last time

“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.

This record marks a new phase in our discography. It's a new step up in terms of composition, experimentation, and arrangements. Guitars have been somewhat set aside in favor of synthesisers, while the coldness and melodies of the bass, along with the sincere and melancholic tones of the vocals, have been carefully preserved. Drum-machine beats deliver a relentless, mechanical rhythm.

This evolution in sound represents a shift towards a more electro-dark aesthetic, prioritising precision and atmosphere over traditional post-punk elements. The result is a sonic landscape that is both nostalgic and forward-looking, capturing the essence of contemporary musical experimentation.

Lyrically, the songs delve into the complexity of human emotions, ranging from the ecstasy of love to the darkest corners of the soul, inviting listeners to explore the depths of their own feelings.

Sex Tape

Marching epicness, gleaming noisiness & droning emotiveness constructed by Oleksii Podat (@chszm) as a disturbing electronic elegy of our nowadays routine.

The performance took place at the opening of the museum of the Druzhkivka Porcelain Factory (named after Evgeny Markovych Lementa), at an event organized by the research enterprise "Сади Донбасу".

The concert had a semi-secret format due to information about a possible rocket attack on a gathering of people in a city 20 km from the front line - but everything passed & evening was successful.

Wear it in good health

"The Gentle Taste Of Flowing Time..." is a concept developing through years.

Some songs are very old, some are just born.

The idea is to represent with short music moments the shapes, the memories, the heals, the scars that the passing of time leaves.
As always, inspired by David Lynch & Angelo Badalamenti
