What an album. The textures, sounds and vocals - everything sounds so rich and well balanced. Great mixing and absolutely beautiful melodies. This is my favourite Trentemøller album so far - by far! Can‘t wait for the concert!

You draw me in,
You pull me down
A rose behind all those many thorns
Tears of a silent rain falling
Leading me back to you
Through the dusk, into the dark night
You draw me in,
You pull me down
A rose behind all those many thorns
In the gloaming
All the shadows they fall
In the moonlight
All the stars are aligned
For you
For me
For us to see
You draw me in,
You pull me down
A rose behind all those many thorns
In the gloaming
In the twilight
Will I find a way?
You draw me in,
You pull me down
A rose behind all those many thorns

about
Analysis and fixed processes have supplanted mystery. Romanticism is in short supply. Luckily there is still music being released that pushes back. Anders Trentemøller’s latest album, Memoria, seems to exist at the confluence of inspiration, coincidence, and maybe even a little bit of the supernatural.
Classically speaking, memoria (memory) is one of the five canons of rhetoric, along with discovery, arrangement, eloquence, and recitation. It’s how stories are told, and memoria is the central pillar. Trentemøller’s songs never deliver the completed narrative, that’s for the listener to construct, but in every track exists these five seeds, primed for germination.
When the songs hit we’re greeted with a quartet of trance-inducing numbers which explore the liminal space between the dream world and reality, whisking the listener from the temporal to a parallel world, where synesthesia dictates things like sky color and tidal movements. Longtime collaborator Lisbet Fritze’s vocals intertwine with various melodious threads to form a diaphanous fabric in “No More Kissing In The Rain,” which examines impermanence from an abstract angle. The fourth in the set, “Glow,” acts as a bridge to the middle third of the album, where stored energy converts to motion, and we meet the first single released from the collection.
“In The Gloaming,” implies the arc of the album might have actually begun late in the day, giving the sensation of waking in the evening. Nocturne’s dawning. Stars emerge in the form of percussive arpeggios. Fritze flawlessly and profoundly delivers an eventide script. Its accompanying video captures the somber, almost hallucinogenic qualities of the twilight hour. Eyes turn to space.
The album approaches its apogee when the motorik energy of “When The Sun Explodes” propels us towards the kosmische. Its bridge forecasts impending intensity, which is ultimately realized in “Dead Or Alive,” where punk dynamism, urgent bass and unrelenting drums form a pact with id-driven vocals, assembling into what’s sure to be the newest entry into the noise rock canon. The stars collapse, and we enter the third act.
Trentemøller’s fascination with seemingly diametrically opposed subjects, as it relates to our fleeting existence here on earth, is at the heart of “All Too Soon.” The subject of its companion video contemplates this on a motorcycle ride that could be happening at either dusk or dawn. Like emerging from a cold celestial ocean into a warming terrestrial breeze, it takes us back into more gentle territory with its reassuring promises of immortality, materializing like a mate to “No More Kissing In The Rain,” only with the polarity flipped. Flat on our back, staring at the sky, as satellites and starsailers drift by, “Like A Daydream” chimes on. Earnestly delivered vocals are buoyed up by carillon guitar, tethered to a relaxed drum shuffle, by a progression of bass chords. We come down easy and reach the final composition of the album, “Linger,” which feels like a denouement at half-speed.
2019’s Obverse was an exercise in what could be done if the prospect of performing the songs onstage wasn’t a factor. It opened up some doors, and signaled a new chapter. Memoria, even considering its resplendence, almost feels like it demands to be presented live as well.
