syntaks - Nachtblende
Denmark's most romantic shoegazers, Jakob Skøtt (also of Limp, Causa Sui) and Anna Cecilia, reunite for a lush follow-up to 'Ylajali' released on Ghostly International in 2009. Over two years on, 'Nachtblende' (an aberration of the phrase for day-for-night filters used in the movies) finds their sound shining like a distant Scandinavian beacon on the shores of the Chill wave and dreamy synth pop resurgence which has sprouted since they were last heard. But we should be careful to point out that these guys, well Jakob, at least, have been at it for much longer than the current wave riders, and it's very clear to tell from ther multi-layered and truly expansive sound design. The usual list of influences from Carpenter to Boards Of Canada and Seefeel are ticked off in style, but all with that uniquely Scando-melodic which is so inescapably their finest feature, and certainly enhanced by Anna's dizzyingly beautiful coos and doe-eyed sighs, summoning distinct parallels with the likes of Grouper and almost fringing on the likes of How To Dress Well or the Tri Angle sound at times. Ultimately, for fans of BoC, Ulrich Schnauss or M83, this is one you really can't do without. Recommended! *Housed in gatefold matt-card slipcase*
