Product Information
After their introduction to the world through the singles The Truest Faith and Honey Mine the partnership of Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjäder (also of The Radio Dept) presents its debut album, "An Album By Korallreven". The project was conceived after Joons returned from an extended trip to Samoa where he found inspiration in the local choirs. Mesmerized by the South Pacific and the exhilaration of travel, he shared his newfound passion with Tjäder and a partnership was born. One of the strongest traditions in Swedish Pop is escapism. For a country that spends much of its year in winter darkness this should come as no surprise. From ABBA's Fernando and Ace of Bass' All That She Wants to the contemporary Balearic obsessions of The Tough Alliance, jj, and Air France, references to southern climes abound. The music of Stockholm's Korallreven champions this tradition while extending it across a range of different genres. The result is a blissful journey through influences as far flung as Southern Rap, Dreampop, Reggae, and Minimal Techno, among many others. The glittering, joyful production focuses on melodic evolution rather than structure; lush, dubbed-out instrumentals (Loved-Up) perfectly complement trance-pop vocal cuts (Keep Your Eyes Shut & Comin' Closer). Joining the duo for the ride are a host of collaborators including Victoria Bergsman (Taken By Trees, The Concretes) and Julianna Barwick. Bergsman, who contributed her signature dulcet vocals to second single Honey Mine, returns with the swirling meditation of Pago Pago and the anthemic dreampop of As Young As Yesterday. With Samoan choirs being a major influence on the record, who would be better to enlist than Julianna Barwick? Here, her loop-based vocal soundscape on Sa Sa Samoa builds from a choir of one to an ecstatic eruption. The result is a journey through influences as far flung as Southern Rap, Dreampop, Reggae, and Minimal Techno, among many others. The glittering production focuses on melodic evolution rather than structure; lush, dubbed-out instrumentals (Loved-Up) perfectly complement trance-pop vocal cuts (Keep Your Eyes Shut & Comin' Closer).
Rezensionen
,,Dreampop aus Schweden von nachgerade zeitloser Schönheit." (musikexpress, Januar 2012)
„Wow, sind das funkelnde Songs, ein bisschen, als wenn Postal Service, Vampire Weekend und Of Montreal tatsächlich das Schiff besteigen und nur noch urlauben würden.“ – de: bug
„Wer den Winter auditiv etwas aufhübschen möchte, ist mit dem warm-pulsierenden Debüt des schwedischen Duos gut bedient.“ - TV Spielfilm
„Der zarte Sound des ‚Korallenriffs‘ lässt Südsee-Assoziationen von Stränden, Urwäldern, Wasserfällen, landestypischen Sitten, Bräuchen, Kostümen und Gerüchen entstehen, umspült ganz unaufdringlich die Gehörgänge und gleitet ins unendliche Wohlgefühl dahin. – Doppelpunkt
„Wenn schon Flucht aus dem tristen Alltag, dann wenigstens in Form einer so schönen Postkarten-Idylle.“ – motor. de (Dezember 2011)
