Just when you thought Swedish design couldn't get any better, native son Par
Grindvik brings out his first full release on Spectral, Continuate, a 12" treat
in the tradition of great Nordic artistry. Currently based in Berlin, Grindvik
is an established producer and manager of the label, Stockholm LTD, while having
toured all over Europe, owning his own record store, and issuing his last
release on Adam Beyer's historic Drumcode imprint. "Continue In My Words" may
start off simple, but it's laced with a tantric- build, pushing subconsciously
to the edge where kamikaze lemmings blend mid-air into an exasperated steam
machine. Hinting at its thematic name- sake, Continuate is riddled with playful
determination and divvied up into an array of unusually syncopated sweetspots
that just refuse to quit. Laying down a brutal remix are Marcel Dettman and Ben
Klock of the prestigious Berlin club, Berghain, as well as a number of other top
labels. "Continue Me" rides on a topography of mist, blasting and splitting-up,
only to be reshaped into gestures that could replace the notion of melody
altogether. The few choice notes which actually are singable get de-tuned and
tweaked into an irresistible, bittersweet tinge of lust, leaving our ears to
pick for scabs with a confused and masochistic sense of pleasure, so sparse and
obscured, it's something of a Peeping Tom's wet dream.
