Danish electronic artist Rumpistol, aka
Jens B. Christiansen, releases his
fourth and most ambitious album yet û
Floating û a collaboration with LA based
vocalist Red Baron that further explores
the post dub-step vocal territories
opened up on last yearÆs Talk To You EP.
With tighter song structures, intimate
lyrics and the BaronÆs ecstatic vocal
projections, the two create a parallel
world in which the domestic breakdowns
of wintry Copenhagen are filtered
through surreal sun-bleached Californian
dreams, resulting in a robotic and
hypnagogic hybrid of soul.
The sound, while still recognizably
ôRumpistolö in its organically unstable
clicks and gurgles, marks an evolution
in ChristiansenÆs thinking, shedding
light on the interior landscapes of
existential crisis and bliss that heÆs
been essaying over the last ten years.
The introduction of Red Baron does a
great deal to carry this forward. Many
of the tracks were written in
partnership with the elusive vocalist on
an almost subconscious level, through a
process where different phrases were
recorded until the atmosphere was
properly expressed. ItÆs through the
BaronÆs heavily processed voice,
hovering between male and female
timbres, that the ghost of American pop
culture finds itself here too. In this
way Grace Jones stands tall in a frozen
stream on IÆm Not Listening, Lionel
Richie gets stuck in traffic on a bad
trip in Colors Breaking while Kanye
pushes his auto-tuned bicycle through
the blizzard of Floating.
But as the arctic arpeggiated synths let
you know, the album is more about the
future than any past, a future where
Rumpistol and Red Baron dare to take
current genres from the post dub-step
and wonky scenes and defy them with the
human voice for a dystopic soul music of
their own.
