An Interview with Trentemøller (The Week in #Indie Segment)
Danish indie/electronic music Trentemøller may be one of the most diverse people in the music industry. With a career spanning over two decades and literally hundreds of credits cross-hopping between albums of many different genres as well as scoring and production work, to say hee is established at this point would be an understatement.
And now we get the next evolution of his revolution in the form of his new album titled ‘Obverse’, which drops today (September 27, 2019). Featuring guest spots by such as Rachel Goswell, Lina Tullgrin, Lisbet Fritze, and Jennylee, ‘Obverse’ is an electronic dreamscape in which each track has its own signature stamp within the collection yet everything seems to fall into place further cementing Trentemøller’s place as a music legend.
And today we get to speak with that legend and get his incite on the music industry as a whole as well as ‘Obverse’ and the magic contained within.
ABOUT TRENTEMØLLER & ‘OBVERSE’
Trentemøller already shared gorgeous videos for singles “In The Garden” (ft. Lina Tullgren) and “Sleeper,” in addition to a short film he wrote & recorded music for with Lisbet Fritze, featuring Sean Penn and Helena Christensen. “Try A Little” (ft. jennylee of Warpaint) came out 8/30.
He has always worked with strong female singers, including Savages’ Jehnny Beth, Low’s Mimi Parker, Blonde Redhead’s Kazu Makino, and Marie Fisker. This new album features the voices of Slowdive’s Rachel Goswell, Warpaint’s Jenny Lee Lindberg (jennylee) and Lisbet Fritze, as well. With shoegaze, dream pop, synth-based soundscape enriched by German Kosmische/Motorik experimentalist spirit, Obverse explores complementary contrasts inherent in the album title and Nordic environment he calls home.

London alt-rock duo Plastic Barricades is releasing Tunnel, have released their third single from the upcoming LP Self-Theories. The track comes with a trippy music video that continues the tradition of an unaltered DIY approach and was shot using a digital microscope. Sometimes it feels like life is this winding road with plenty of tunnels. You go in, it is dark and uneasy, and pretty soon you start wondering how long this tunnel is.
Visibility is reduced, you cannot increase your speed or turn back. It starts to feel claustrophobic. Your thoughts are amplified, loudly reverberating in your head. All you can do is keep reminding yourself that no tunnel lasts forever and you will make it out of this one, like all the previous ones you’ve been to – and you will see sunlight again!
TUNNEL FACTS:
- The song was written and recorded in a backyard Shed Studio in North-West London, mixed by Paul Love and mastered by Andy Baldwin at Metropolis Studios.
- Video for the single, created by PB art-director Elina Pasok and Dan Kert, was made using a microscope with up to 1000 times magnification and no CG.
- Imagine if you could see your worries and anxieties under a microscope? What would they look like?
- Single release date – 6th of July 2020
- Self-Theories LP due in autumn 2020
Romantic and honest, gloomy and curious, melodic and melancholic, Plastic Barricades chronicle life in the troubled yet fascinating XXI century, asking questions and trying to find answers. Inspired and influenced by almighty Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Oasis, Coldplay, Muse, Death Cab for Cutie, Placebo, Snow Patrol, The Shins, Nirvana, and many others, the band loves to experiment with styles, sound, and approach.
Based between London and Paris, Plastic Barricades are Dan Kert on guitars and vocals and Paul Love on drums and production.

An Interview with Jurassic 5’s Soup J5
Soup J5 has worked hard for what he has become in life. Very Hard. You can easily see the fruits of his labor in the form of Jurassic 5. But maintaining is just as hard as achieving. And Soup proves that he can do that just as well with his solo effort, ‘Still In Fullee Love’. The EP is stellar. But that’s just the beginning. He also has a full-length album titled ‘Free, White & 21’ waiting in the wings.
In this interview, we get a grip on how Soup began his career as well as how he continues to stay so original in today’s music world. It’s a hard feat but, as you can hear with his new single ‘All Around The World’, Soup’s talents are eternal. Enjoy!
