with the night song ep, sandboy and nanar present the first
offering taken from their forthcoming album.
starting with the debut album "wanderlust" (hint003cd/dlp) of his
solo project sandboy, tobias meggle has built up a musical
universe, which has earned him the respect of many and not just
colleagues in music. with infectious ease he blends broken beat
with afro- and latin influences and dresses the result up in an
ethereal sound-robe full of depth. his musical style has not only
impressed listeners and the international press but also
companions like peter kruder, ltj bukem and makossa. and with
seven sandboy releases on his own hinterland records itÆs a
success story that continues to grow.
a multitude of high class vocalists constantly play an important
role for sandboy - nanar vorperian, clara hill, randolph matthews,
patrick gammon or nice ferreira, to name but a small selection.
but for the coming album tobias meggle has chosen another
approach. break reform-chanteuse nanar vorperian, who has already
featured on tracks on "wanderlust" such as "written in the leaves"
and "pomegranate", finds herself exclusively in the center-field
of the new album - so the project is rightfully named as the
collaboration that is, "sandboy and nanar". by the way, one
further prelude to the album has already been announced - the
second 12 inch will appear in autumn 2007.
night song (original)
"night song" unites again all of the sandboy trademark sounds:
exotic instruments (balaphone) integrated in a sound-scape as
natural as it is elegant, a luscious, intelligently grooving
back-beat, flowing bass lines, horns and of course the voice of
nanar vorperian. dense choral voices are contrasted with
floatingly sung melodies containing multi-facetted lyrics which
culminate in one charming line: "remember - you need her - she is
beautiful".
night song (j.j webster remix)
as one of the producers of break reform, j.j webster is not just a
long term associate of nanar, but also an esteemed member of the
hinterland-records family. he draws the groove out of a deep bass
line with r&b drums and a trip-hop vibe. a piano pattern, strings
and harp samples and above all a focus on nanars chorus make this
remix a very musical reworking and retain the song character.
night song (yoruba soul mix)
this remix stems from none other than the american producer/dj
legend osunlade. with releases, among others, on his own label
yoruba, soul jazz records and bbe he is just the right choice to
take those afro-vibes and transform them into a more clubby
direction. the tempo is noticeably raised in the rolling deep
house groove and combines perfectly with nanars ever present
vocals to make up all the right ingredients for a summer club
experience...
night song (yoruba soul dub)
osunlades dub version uses but a few vocal elements and embeds
them in driving percussion and string sounds. a slightly
deconstructed deep house groove is also evident here highlighting
the tune and makes it a hypnotic track, complete with spinning
break-down part, ideal for those late hours on the dance floor.
