Hey there all you that missed me… I have had a series of things get in the way but I should be back to not making excuses and dropping sweet tunes consistently now.
Now to the music. I love Studio, and by that I don’t mean studio quality music, I mean the Swedish balearic duo of Dan Lissvik and Rasmus Hägg. These guys have produced some mind blowing jams over the last couple of years, and now Dan goes it alone with his own project that deviates slightly from the previous formula. Instead of the synth/guitar work of Studio, we encounter a groovier work that features Dan’s guitar work. His guitar is played in a very similar fashion to Studio, and in fact I think you’ll find it indistinguishable. This stripped down work allows the listener to really just groove along with the guitar with frequent exotic percussive sounds intermingled. These forms of percussion are what gives the music its depth. The listener encounters congas, bongos, wooden castanets, and many other international sounds that give us the impression that we are in a tent filled with belly dancers on a dune at 4am on an acid trip. For those of us that love Studio, I think you’ll find that this work comes freakishly close, especially on track B2…
This album contains seven untitled tracks, and I find that you will agree that the names of these tracks are less important than the middle-eastern late night thematics. Enjoy track B2 or track 6 as the cd would say…
B2 (Track 6) – D. Lissvik – 7 Trx + Intermission
