As posted the other day on http://blip.fm/shok, I have found one of my favorite albums of the year, Into The Great Wide Yonder, which comes from Trentemøller. This is his second release, which is a shift from his mainly synthetic first album, singles and remixes, which I also loved, to an organic blend with electronics, where we find a range of gritty twang guitars, ethereal soundscapes, rocking drums and a host of wet whispery sexy vocals.
The first single, Sycamore Feeling features breathy female vocals in the vein of Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star & Jennifer Charles of Elysian Fields with the yesteryear sound from 4ad, Creation Records, Beggars Banquet and Mute Records atop a fresh pulse.
Ascertain you BUY this album, which is due for release in USA on the 6th of August.
