Nachtblende
Syntaks
CD Rel Date: 2011-09-27
2011 release from the Danish duo consisting of Jakob Skott and Anna Celilia. Nachtblende is perhaps the broadest ranging Syntaks album to date. It is a massive effort in terms of both style and length, cultivated over the past three years. Nachtblende is the fully realized scope of two Danish lover's vision. A vision far removed from the minimalist design and grey skies of Scandinavia. On the masculine side you got your wall of feedback guitars, swirling arpeggios and dead-pan dusty quarter-time beats - all rising, crackling and disappearing into the hemisphere. But what brings the creative counter spark is the muted piano, haunted acoustic guitar picking and wordless soprano sighs of Anna Cecilia. If making picturesque or cinematic music seems like a concept of the past, Nachtblende is an attempt to rewrite history on it's own terms.
