Into the Great Wide Yonder
Danish producer Trentemoller has revealed more details about his forthcoming album, Into the Great Wide Yonder. The full-length will be released on June 7th, and will come out via his own In My Room imprint. Composed of ten tracks, the record sees Trentemoller experimenting with "more organic and analog" textures, in contrast to the "crisp, digital sheen" that made him famous on his debut, The Last Resort. Reportedly including instruments like bass mandolin, theremin and a music box, Trentemoller nonetheless admits that computers were utilized at some point in the process. "I recorded most of the album in my computer, but in the final stages I transferred all the parts to analog tape through a lot of vintage EQ's and pre-amps. The tape saturation and the analog outboard really helped getting the warm sound that I was after." Solveig Sandnes, Josephine Philip and Guillemots singer Fyfe Dangerfield all feature.
