Stereo Embers: The Podcast

"Dreamweaver" With just under ten albums under their musical belts, the Danish darkwave outfit Trentemøller are one of the most inventive bands around. Led by the Grammy-nominated braintrust Anders Trentemøller, their music is a thoughtful blend of swirling electronica, lashing techno, sweeping synthpop and cinematic ambient soundscapes. Albums like The Last Resort and Obverse were instant classics and their new one Dreamweaver might be their best one yet. The ethereal vocals on this record bring to mind everyone from Mazzy Starr to the Cocteau Twins and the accompanying arrangements are moody, thoughtful, dramatic and arresting. Anders is one of alternative music's great sonic architects, and he's remixed so many people's music, we'd be here all day if I named them all, so keep in mind this is a partial list: Pet Shop Boys, Robyn, Franz Ferdinand and Depeche Mode. Not only is he the High King of Darkwave, he's a super nice guy and this is a fabulous chat! www.trentemoller.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com (
