The duo Desperat K, whom I presented less than two years ago, released the single “Solo” a few weeks ago. Like before they serve us colours from the eighties with postpunk-vibing synthpop, here in a song that pulsates with melancholy in the dark Uppsala night. It grows into an epic, beautiful synth ballad, in a similar style as their first track “Östermalm”. Fortunately they have just started working on their first full length album, which we will be able to enjoy some time next year.

A major drone sound opens the album ”Fallout”, immediately making me curious. The record soon becomes even more interesting with rhythmic glitches and other sounds, but Lars Bröndum’s music is in a way hard to describe or categorize. It has depth but at the same time it’s rather easy to listen to it even though it’s about drone, noise and glitch, as well as classical eam. The music also contains some elements I interpret as nods to the 60’s sound world. One can be discouraged by the length of the tracks, but there is everything to gain by getting through them, as here and there suddenly new worlds open up.
