Emil de Waal (drums, percussion, electronic effects)
\nGustaf Ljunggren (keyboards, guitars, effects)<\/p>\n
For this 2018 session, it\u2019s just the duo of de Waal and Ljunggren, and they go off in a very different direction. Gone are the boisterous melodies and swinging tempos of New Orleans via Denmark. Instead, the duo navigates a path that takes them through folk, electronica and indie-pop musics. The duo runs the sing-song melody of \u201cSkomakarskeppet\u201d through a cyclical pattern that accentuates both its addictive and minimalist qualities. There\u2019s how the electric sizzle and pop of \u201cKrathuset\u201d is juxtaposed over a resolute drone, creating a tempo that is both lively and meditative. \u201cStrung Hi\u201d has a countryside tranquility, as if sunlight settling in over wide open fields of green\u2026 an infusion of energy into a trance state. It sounds nothing like what\u2019s been featured previously from these two, and yet present throughout every moment of this lovely recording is that very same warmth and intimacy, and that same feeling of intoxication.<\/p>\n
This duo has been collaborating for twenty years and counting. Their new album is more reason to hope it never ends.<\/p>\n
