Aside The Aeons
Kann | LP | Digital
Delving into a more mysterious sound than the label is commonly known, the artist draws from the dark side of the pool, taking in Baltic choir inspirations, 80s cinema themes (Tarantino’s favourite) and lyrical GDR rock for good measure. Produced in secrecy over the past 12 months, Krause gets in touch with his inner Stereolab by creating an enchanting new full length entirely on headphones. Drip fed to those close to him over the past year, he was convinced to share these ‘audiobooks’ to a wider audience, now resulting in: Aside The Aeons. Adding almost only sounds from Korg M3R, Roland Aeorophon and a JX 03 synthesizer to the action - the record explores an unique musical universe and head trip for the astral plane.
It’s A Business Doing Pleasure With You
Riotvan | 2xLP | DigitalSafe to say, this album ultimately constitutes his signature sound, it is the epitome of Krause-ness. A cliché-free and self determined approach to production- and musicianship that assembles NuDisco-smashers like opener „Birthday Club“, the french kissed Funk of „J-ai Envie De Toi“, an arpeggio riding Moroder-ovation like „Road To Arcadia“ (good moment to mention this album was produced on a console hailing from the inventory of Moroder‘s Musicland studio), the giddy slowed down Soul of „Keep On“, „Das schöne Meer Lied“ - a peculiar, heartfelt and almost delirious tune featuring the recitative of Martina, a blind woman who portraits her inner imagination of the sea, the straightened out IndieDance of „Sledge Hammer“, the slightly stumbling House- leanings in „Sunset“ and more to a bright, vibrant and overly catchy manifest of an album that perpetually ensures utmost pleasure, doing business with this fella.
