03.10.08: Pitchfork: exclusive track from forthcoming Fennesz album

 

Pitchfork are premiering an exclusive stream of "Saffron Revolution", from Fennesz's forthcoming "Black Sea" album, scheduled for release on Touch at the end of November.

 

Pitchfork's Mark Richardson writes: "… this lead track certainly keeps expectations very high. Beginning with some of Fennesz' trademark neo-industrial gurgles, it folds in bits of guitar and strings rather beautifully, creating a cluster of sound that trembles, seeming to wait for something. And that something moves in gradually in the form of a massive cloud of distortion, a fine white mist of harmonics mixed with a dark undercurrent of rumbling bass. The tension between these elements is so well balanced, each individual element remaining in the mix even as the sound field becomes impossibly dense, that it's no surprise that it takes a while to get it just right. And as it begins to draw down about five minutes in, you can't help but wish that another full Fennesz album was following behind it. Soon."

FUCK YEA FOR NEW FENNESZ

*punches someone in the face with a beer bottle*

WOO

great track, really looking forward to this album

So new Fennesz, Luomo, and SND all in the next few months + http://www.google.com/search2001/ means I can get down with electronic music in the hardest most nostalgic way. 9/11 what? *tears*

New SND?! I demand more infos!

The Wire invisible jukebox segment early in the summer said new album in November on Raster-Noton. Still no news, but 4,5,6 kinda sprung up out of nowhere, and RN typically just puts shit out when they're done making it....

BEER

super gut

Great track, can't wait for the rest.

WOW! I need this! :omg: sounds lovely.

this track is super, waiting for new fennesz for a while now.

new fennesz and snd will make my november so awesome . . .

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEsssss indeed!

Endless Summer and Venice is two flawless albums but the scariest thing is that he seems to just get better and better!...maybe I should check out his first releases, heard they are less guitary and more noisy...

in a 2008 live set, there is this beautiful tune (mix of acoustic & electronic), i'm sure it will be on the forthcoming lp.

can't wait.

maybe its the track "Tree" on his myspace http://www.myspace.com/fennesz

I have endless Summer and Venice and I think both are pretty great but I am not sure if I really need more Fennesz. I'll probably buy this anyway lol.

Tree appears on the (really solid) Touch 25 comp and, yes, it is an incredible track. i've never really gotten into his first album, but everything after that is killer

I haven't even finished listening to the song yet and I feel like this is an album I gotta buy.

no its not Tree but similar (-> 21min @ check the Quartz set video) or very close to the "Desolate shore / shadow" track.

if this unknown gem is not on the forthcoming lp..

hhhm not so impressed with the streaming track, wil hold judgement till i hear the album

Oooh, is this an exclusive track or taken from the album does anyone know ?
