Release Notes
After half a decade of wait, Berlin-based producer Douglas Greed makes his
long-awaited return with 'Angst' - the 10-track followup to his 2014-on BPitch
Control released album, 'Driven'. Fruit of a transitional period that's seen
him go through all kinds of creative ups and downs, 'Angst' refers to the
inherent ambivalence attached to the sentiment of fear.
In Douglas' case, fear - though crippling at times - is also what makes him
tick; the catalystic force that pushes him to outdo and reinvent himself so
constantly. Born out of the hope to find that crucial innocence of his younger
musicloving self again, 'Angst' finds Douglas brushing a ten-part tableau of
warmly atmospheric, quietly nostalgic pieces, in the tradition of his previous
releases for BPitch, Freude Am Tanzen, 3000 Grad et al - whether solo or under
his parallel project YEAH BUT NO alongside Fabian Kuss and EATING SNOW with
Mooryc.
Infused with the refined pop sensibility that's become trademark to his
sound, the album reels out a soul-fulfilling narrative that very much feels
like a second wind; deftly swinging the pendulum betwixt sun-streaked
melodies, transporting emotional crescendos and intricately woven textural
membranes to lose yourself into.
Starting off with the sense-awakening and supremely resilient electro-pop of
'Roll with the Punches', featuring Joy Wellboy on vocals, whose upcoming LP
was co-produced by Douglas, the album alternates dynamic highlights - from
the jazz & trip-hop-indebted 'The Taste of Dust' to the Border
Community-esque trancey charm of 'Everybody Wants to Live in a Mansion' - and
wistfully enticing cuts like 'The Few', 'Numbers` (both Songs with vocals by
Odd Beholder) or the polyphonic chimes & brass-laden roller 'Random Groove'.
As its title suggests, 'Angst' also cuts a wide window open into Douglas'
bruises and introspective leaning, shining with maximal depth on the
thoroughly intimate coming-out of 'Wie Man Unsterbliche Tiere Züchtet' and
'Fight For You', where day-to-day anxieties give birth to larger-than-life
narrative arcs and corollas. The ironically airwaves-ready closer 'Not Afraid`
with Joy Wellboy makes for the vanishing point of Douglas' full-length
journey, but no ending to it by any means. It's a gift that keeps on giving.
