Der fünfte Release des schwedischen Duos Ludvig Stolterman und Jonatan Nilsson (aka GIDGE) ist das zweite full-length Album nach “Autumn Bells” (2014). Ihre elektronische Musik soll die Stimmungen der Natur Schwedens wiederspiegeln.

Gidge makes electronic music that is shaped by recordings of Swedish nature. It’s both comfortable on the dance floor and in a more relaxing environment. Each and every Gidge track creates its own sense of atmosphere and emotion, whether that is nostalgia, rest, or epicness. Their work evolves naturally, often building to powerful peaks from a silent break that is tweaked with vocal samples, crackles of field recordings, and neo-classical influences.
“New Light” features 9 new tracks where Gidge worked on for about 3 years long. The album is signature for people that are familiar with the music from Gidge, yet, it can be seen as their most eclectic work to date. Ludvig and Jonatan refined the production technique on their new album by intensifying the sound palette with analog synthesis and crispy hi-hats. The track “Perimeter” might be the perfect example of this - spanning over exactly 10 minutes, the intensity of the synths in combination with the sharp hats throughout are absolutely fire.
