Trentemøller releases ‘Into The Great Wide Yonder’

‘Into the great wide yonder’ shows an artist that’s willing to take risks, find inspiration in new places and move beyond the sound of his previous album.
Trentemøller: ‘Of course I didn’t want to make the same record twice. That would have been boring.’ Instead he just started to collect new ideas, without thinking too much about the direction the music would take him: ‘The only thing I knew was that I’d want the music to be more organic, warm and not typical electronic sounding‘.

Compared to the intimate electronic mood pieces of ‘The Last Resort’, the ten tracks on the new album indeed have a glorious indie rock sound, with a lot of dynamics, distorted driving twang-guitars and haunting synths alongside four beautiful melodic vocal songs.

The sound of ‘Into The Great Wide Yonder’ might be one step ahead of his previous work, but we still easily recognise Trentemøller‘s sound in this inspired collection of songs and atmospheres. The sonic richness, sharp contrasts and daring musical colours are vintage Trentemøller. ‘Into the great wide yonder’ is an album that keeps growing for a long time, as every track works its way stealthily under your skin.
While the album is released end of May an extended live tour around the world will start in Autumn 2010.
