Trentemøller - Fixion (2016) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Fixion“ is the fourth album from Copenhagen-based producer Anders Trentemøller and rather than being an overtly electronic work, it draws from the gigging band sound of the artist with live bass and guitar at times prominent in the overall mix. With „Fixion“, Anders has crafted a logical successor to 2013's 'Lost' - a record that in many ways managed to truly capture the visceral live experience of Trentemoller as a full-band. In much the same manner that 'Lost' built on from the somber cinematic classic that was 'Into The Great Wide Yonder', 'Fixion' has embraced the Danish artist's trademark melancholy and matured it into something uniquely atmospheric and darkly romantic.

Rather than attempting to completely reinvent himself, Anders has used his latest outing as an opportunity to highlight certain granular aspects of his signature sound and refine them into a much more organic and at times perhaps more song-driven body of work. It's a record that on first listen may seem less detailed but, as you'll know by now, with Trentemoller, one should never be fooled by initial impressions. It's the kind of record that will over time repeatedly unlock new intricacies and offer the listener an opportunity to understand the work differently upon each listen.

The album is still notably driven by the producer and multi-artist's passion for experimentation and effortlessly succeeds in transcending a swathe of influences and unassuming genres yet all the while holding true to Trentemoller's unique, and sometimes challenging vernacular. From the cascading minimalist synth-scapes to driving electropunk, each and every track on 'Fixion' is bound together with a contemplative melodic complexity.
