Between a Smile and a Tear (Blue 2LP + Bonus 12'')

Nach Releases auf Crosstown Rebels kommt das staubig-heisse Debut-Album des Kopenhageners. Begriffe wie "Tarantino-House" oder "Desert-House" greifen es ungefähr. Gitarrenmelodien und Slides, analoge Sounds, Melancholie trifft Retrofuturismus, Klänge aus der Kindheit, Vocoder Vocals und den Dancefloor. ’Between A Smile a Tear’ is a wide spanning album in terms of mood, instrumentation, tempo and style, with clear references that reach back to a time where experimental innocence met the futuristic and forward thinking. Be Svendsen describes his music as “Tarantino Techno”. He brings in emotional guitar melodies and dry strings, and adds it to his club universe where moods can change in an instant. Innovative deep new-disco cuts, galactic journey melodies, analogue ambient atmosphere to classic song writing, soundtrack’esque epicness, and a deep-tech organic collaboration with Henri Texier.
