Emil de Waal and Spejderrobot's fourth release Brugt offers everything from euphoric indie-infected anthems over excited funk spasms and wobbly club bangers to futuristic reggae, tribalistic flute excesses and privileged Yacht-tronica.

But above all, Brugt is the sound of a pair of musical partners who after 15 years of collaboration, gradually grow into each other: where one takes over when the other holds back. Distorted soundscapes mixed with restless rhythmic attacks are replaced by bubbling electronics and subtly quirky beats. The goal is always the same: to investigate, expand and break down musical boundaries.

When Emil de Waal and Spejderrobot went into the studio to record a new record the plan was written in stone: it was the improvisations between the group's regular compositions that had to be immortalized. "We went in search of the moments of wildness, beauty and strangeness in the music that occurs between the songs", explains Emil de Waal. After only one day of recording they had material for a new album: Brugt (Danish for Used).

As with all good plans it soon had to be abandoned. "We still couldn't resist adding new elements", smiles Spejderrobot, "Hooks, melodies, chords, nifty percussion roles and scifi synthesizers, subsequently became part of the expression".

The cover is as on the previous records, made by SeLigeMig. At the end of the cover's graphic QR code there is currently a clock counting down to the release date. What happens next when the digits reach the ominous 00:00:00 is currently undecided. Time will tell.

For drummer and composer Emil de Waal, the driving force in recent years has been a curiosity and urge to explore new tones and sounds, and to get completely out into musical nooks and crannies. One can almost speak of a form of musical limitlessness, as being the driving force. Where he was previously part of a large number of pop constellations in Danish musical life, he has now established himself as an inquisitive and experimental composer who strives to be as open and embracing as possible.

The electronic musician and producer Spejderrobot has in recent years thrown himself into learning to play various instruments that, on paper, do not seem obvious to a person without grip function. On the Internet he thus shared the ups and downs of his efforts to learn to play the drums. In addition to an interest in learning to play instruments by hand, he has also experimented with using electricity from plants to control drum machines and synthesizers
