Trentemller – Fixion

Description

Based in Copenhagen, Anders Trentemller made his debut in 1997, DJing the local club circuit and occasionally performing live. With Fixion, Anders has crafted a logical successor to 2013s Lost – a record that in many ways managed to truly capture the visceral live experience of Trentemller as a full-band. In much the same manner that Lost built on from the somber cinematic classic that was Into The Great Wide Yonder,Fixion has embraced the Danish artists trademark melancholy and matured it into something uniquely atmospheric and darkly romantic.

Rather than attempting to completely reinvent himself, Anders has used his latest outing as an opportunity to highlight certain granular aspects of his signature sound and refine them into a much more organic – and at times perhaps more song-driven body of work. Its a record that on first listen may seem less detailed but, as well know by now, with Trentemller, one should never be fooled by initial impressions. Its the kind of record that will over time repeatedly unlock new intricacies and offer the listener an opportunity to understand the work differently upon each listen. The album is still notably driven by the producer and multi-artists passion for experimentation and effortlessly succeeds intranscending a swathe of influences and unassuming genres – yet all the while holding true toTrentemllers unique, and sometimes challengingvernacular. From the cascading minimalist synth-scapes to driving electropunk, each and every track on Fixion is bound together with a contemplative melodic complexity. (via Label)
