Esben Nørskov Andersen is the electronic wizard from Copenhagen, AKA Rangleklods, (check our previous features on him HERE and HERE) and he’s released the title track from his latest album Breathe In, Breathe Out. It’s an undeniably groovy and heady synth track which will mesmerize you with inventive soundscapes and varied timbres. Andersen has impeccable pacing in “Breathe In, Breathe Out,” using pauses and breaths in his melodies that create tension. This jilts the groovy flow before releasing the tension with a big blooming refrain that gets your shuffling your feet, bobbing your head, and swaying your hips. No moment inside of Andersen’s tracks are standard – he crafts and fixates over every tone and structure until the sounds you hear have been worked and warped into something utterly original, custom tailored to express his vision. He here is talking about the new track and how life shapes his craft:
“Since my last album, I’ve become a father and married my girlfriend of many years. Life has become centered in a way that brings me peace and has taught me to breathe deeper. There are good days and bad days in our home just like everyone else’s. But I love knowing that there is always something bigger than yourself, and that meaning is always just beneath the surface of whatever problem you’re fixating on. Breathe in, then out. And find the joy in what’s right in front of you”.
Fans of Hot Chip, Darkside, Nicolas Jaar, and John Talabot will find lots to love in Rangleklods’ music.
