1 Up From Ocean
2 Disco Club
3 Stronger Than This
|
There are 300 (perhaps 500 -nobody knows) copies. I handpainted all the vinyls with a lil help from my friends.
Side A contains three songs in a typical Mortenson style of experimentalism and pop. Audio snippets
wrapped up in a collage with a taste of soul and old cartoon.
In Up From Ocean slide guitars are singing and electronic waves are sweeping in a sailing rhythm
that leads you to an island of paradise. Imagine big grey city gets taken by a flood and
next thing you wake up stranded on a tropical island. Sex and icecream all day long.
A sleepless night in the city, walking home from a night out and
humming a bass line for a new song. Disco Club bounces
off the street in it's own sound scenery, playing with the shadows of street
lamps in Berlin.
Stronger Than This deals with voices featuring the brain
the body and the voice. You're not scitzofrenic you're just distracted. A
computerized stewardess is guiding you through an 8bit labyrinth of thoughts.
"a full listening experience" Popmatters
"the finest Electrosoul. This is crazy groovy" Intro
"there's a schizophrenic charm in the way Mortenson layers reverbed moans, giddy squeals, goofball catcalls,
wiry pitch-bent steel guitar, 80s hiphop mouth bass, cartoon sound FX, and the whole of the kitchen sink" Popmatters
