Since immigrating to Canada in 2010, Danish musician Kim Oxlund has kept busy composing a string of award winning film scores with fellow musician Maya Saxell, who he also released two critically acclaimed albums with in the mid 2000s as ‘Said the Shark’. But in the quiet nights of 2022, Oxlund began to retreat to a more personal form of music making.

Taking inspiration from a series of tapes made by his father of German radio shows in the late 70s, he decided to re-engage with the sounds of his blurry and half-remembered youth – a time when he had no musical preconceptions. Intuitively he began to channel these older influences into new shapes; weaving elements of space age pop, kosmische, and new age over top a series of atmospheric rhythms situated somewhere between Kraftwerk, The Art of Noise, and Zoviet France.

The result is a subtle and subdued album of hypnotic, streamlined electronica that flits back and forth between a particularly Danish form of darkness and light, humor and gravitas.
