: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: More than half a decade has elapsed since the release of Faking :,
: The Books, Lali Puna's third (and hitherto most recent) :
:' long-player, but the band's impact on the climate of electronic ':
,: rock music remains palpable. Along with sister-group The :,
: Notwist, this Weilheim quartet have helped map out the musical :
:' landscape for modern, experimentally minded pop music, and Our ':
,: Inventions finds Lali Puna continuing to push the frontiers of :,
: their medium. :
:' 'Rest Your Head' serves as a perfectly poised re-introduction ':
,: to the band and all they've become. Initiated by waves of glassy :,
: pulsations and warm, swelling synths, the song has the feel of a :
:' reverse-lullaby - gently winding its way through reposeful ':
,: melodies, guided by the welcoming whisper of Trebeljahr's vocal :,
: until the final third kicks in with drum machine hits, and :
:' you're wide awake. While Faking The Books, with its vibrant ':
,: riffs and extrovert tendencies, had the sound of a record :,
: begging to be played live, Our Inventions exhibits the hallmarks :
:' of an album spun from intensive studio-bound introspection. Two ':
,: of the most explosive and ebullient songs here - 'Remember' and :,
: 'Everything Is Always' - confirm so much of what's special about :
:' Lali Puna: all the elements are at once precision engineered ':
,: and delivered with absolute heartfelt conviction; perhaps never :,
: before have such jubilant pop hooks been so meticulously and :
:' fastidiously crafted, yet you can always hear the soul behind ':
,: these machines. :,
: This is an album that's made for and about the modern world, :
:' concerning itself with the driving forces of progress and ':
,: technological obsession. Trebeljahr's lyrics are suggestive of :,
: alienation and disenfranchisement from nature during the :
:' irony-laced title-track: "The birds in the trees/Singing our ':
,: mobile melodies/What a sweet, sweet world", later stipulating :,
: that 'progress' never really gets us anywhere on 'Everything Is :
:' Always' ("Nothing new/These days"), while hinting at the ':
,: ultimate bankruptcy of the all-devouring consumer age during :,
: 'Safe Tomorrow': "Never going anywhere/Don't stop by and get to :
:' know/Stuff your memory with facts/Save Save Save". ':
,: The final song on the tracklist is 'Out There', a collaboration :,
: with the Yellow Magic Orchestra's Yukihiro Takahashi. The :
:' version appearing here is an alternate rendering of the track ':
,: that appeared on Takahashi's Page By Page album in 2009. Here :,
: Trebeljahr addresses the global financial collapse ("Their :
:' kingdom's past, their kingdom's gone/Just ruins and plain ':
,: desert/It's all burnt down, we're left alone"), and sure enough, :,
: Our Inventions is a body of work that keenly engages with the :
:' concerns of its time, one that confronts the excesses and ':
,: ever-accelerating pace of modernity. :,
: The sublime, virtuoso electronic arrangements of Our Inventions :
:' directly lock onto the record's recurrent key themes, depicting ':
,: a world inundated with technology and consumed by a fixation on :,
: progress - simultaneously passing commentary on this state of :
:' affairs and overcoming it. When Trebeljahr intones "Things move ':
,: on/I'm gonna work fast because tomorrow comes quick" it sounds :,
: like it's being sung from the perspective of someone who's :
:' already there. ':
