BRYAN KESSLER - SISTERS & BROTHERS VOL. 4

Bryan Kessler (@bryankessler) has made a point of not toeing the line in terms of the sometimes mono-thematic world of electronic dance music. Hailing from Cologne, Kessler started his musical life as a lead singer in an indie band, before discovering the pleasures of the dancefloor for himself. Having released a number of superb tracks on Comeme, Numbers and Get Physical, he now drops a killer 5 tracker on hafendisko.

The new EP is also the fourth volume in the Sisters & Brothers series, curated by Sexy Lazer and Kasper Bjørke.

‘Such a Sweet Ability’ is a pure statement of Kessler’s philosophy with vocals and lyrics by Berlin based artist Claudio Campo-Garcia, - a spoken word vocal laying out his vision - underpinned by a throbbing, low slung techno groove.

‘No Go-Go’ also has a grimey, rock swing to its electronics, with a swung, jagged bassline and crisp, firing percussion. Kessler adds his unique vocals late in the track, heavily treated and moducalted for maximum effect.

‘Tender Me The Tenderness’ treads a similar vein - rough and ready electronics provide the backbone, with tripping, pounding drums maintaining the shape. This one is aimed squarely at the floor.

‘Don’t Be Dumb Pretend You’re Dumb’ employs heavy percussion and a deep, round kick for the dancers, before exploding into fizzing electronic busts of static - something like a carnival happening inside a broken television.

Last up is another exquisitely titled track - ‘Tell Your Friends They Should Better Stop Talking’ - which slows the pace a little but still brings the heat. Off-kilter pulses and bleeps balance out the driving rhythm, while an euphoric synth stab phases in and out across the track.

Lydmor
二 Money Towers

Lydmor (@lydmor) is Copenhagen based Jenny Rossander, an electronic producer, composer, singer, writer and general troublemaker. Now she’s about to release her new solo album “I Told You I’d Tell Them Our Story”, a multi-layered piece of modern electronic pop music for which she found inspiration by living in Shanghai for several months in 2016.

The single “Money Towers” provides a first glimpse into the concept of the new album “I Told You I’d Tell Them Our Story”. The song stretches from club vibes to reflective introspection; melodically captivating synth-stabs, exotic drum programming and Lydmor's descriptive lyrics presented with her strong voice capture the song's ambiguous nature. “Money Towers” is about being seduced by a world while knowing that this isn't good for you:

»In the song I describe the feeling of roaming about in Shanghai and observing (and to some degree being blinded by) the material wealth symbolized in the imposing skyscrapers.«, Lydmor says about the new single.

»The song also has a more sinister tone, considering that it deals with meeting new people while you're in a state of disillusion. You're worried that you might not notice or even remember the people you meet.

It is quite personal and revealing. For instance in the second verse I describe an anxiety attack where I hyperventilate. However I don't act on these alarming signals but instead I just venture further into the night and the city. No matter the consequences and not being able to stop: ”So lost in the city/I hear a car crash for every step we take.”«

ticktock - a violence of innocence

hfn75

hfn music 02.02.2018

It’s more than exciting to have the outsider pop band ticktock (@ticktockgoestheclock) back on the block. Sebastian Zieler, Jacob Koefoed, and Jens Skovgaard have a knack for making emotive, inventive, and detail-oriented music. A Violence of Innocence is a four-track EP that revels in the band’s love for creating sublime moments from disparate angles. It’s a postmodern mesh of genres with songs that warp and mutate from start to finish.

Thematically, the four tracks deal with disappointment, hope, love, curiosity, and sex. But the red thread is a deep-rooted wish to uplift, no matter the subject matter:

“For a while now, we’ve thought about positivity in music being a bit of a holy grail. We failed on this EP, really - life got in the way, and a break-up and stress has had to be dealt with in song form. But we’ve tried not to off-load feelings on the listener, and instead to let them go full circle - to have each song provide a solution to the problem it presents.” says frontman Sebastian Zieler.

To this end, the band has tried to sneak an uplifting element in through the backdoor - to load the music with the intention to uplift. Good friends in good moods have been enlisted on several tracks: a drunk, middle- of-the-night jam between friends provides the backbone for the outro of the title track, and the EP’s choir parts were recorded by a veritable who’s who of the Danish underground, with everyone in the room being in on the idea: “We tried to play with an open hand, and to tell everyone what our intention was. Each element - from lyrics, to arrangement, and to mix - has been loaded this way.”

It’s audible in how each track morphs along the way: The soulful outro of the title track, the ride-into-the-sunset chorus of Pregnant, the cataclysmic beauty that replaces the synthetic grit of Hatefuck, and the climatic joy of Come Anywhere. It’s a tangible feeling throughout, and a welcome one in times with stress, anxiety, and depression as the psychological pandemics.

Jordan Lieb - aka Black Light Smoke is an Emmy Award winning composer/producer/musician whose records and live sets are drenched with characteristics of house, 80s post punk, synthwave and electro.

The Loving You EP is no exception - ‘Third Up’ kicks things off with a strong slice of NY house - raw and overdriven, it’s dripping with flavor, featuring tight vocal loops and crunchy 808 hits.

‘Marimba’ has a similar tape saturated vibe, highlight the killer hook and crisp, funky rhythm track. Lieb’s ear for musicality is always represented, and the marimba melody flips the track into another direction.

Last up is ‘Loving You’ - an uplifting take on classic house tropes - pitched up vocal, a bouncy drum track and sick synth leads. All in all, a perfectly realised three tracker from the New York native now Nashville resident.
