Anders Trentemøller likes it lonely sometimes, likes barricading himself in a waterfront studio for months at a time—or in the case of 2013′s Lost LP, more than a year—until he’s ready to share his work with the rest of the world. The trouble with that is how different our relationship to a record is when we’re not deeply invested in it. To Trentemøller, it totally makes sense that his last album started with a song that wouldn’t sound out of place in a Low concert (right down to the glacial pacing and Mimi Parker’s devastating lead vocals) and ended with a synth-buffered drone piece, with bits of blissful electro (“River of Life”), shadow-chased club beats (“Deceive”) and artful pop (“Never Stop Running”) caught somewhere in between. And yet many people still pit the producer’s new pieces against the melancholic dance music of his career-defining debut, The Last Resort.
“That is definitely something I struggle with,” admits Trentemøller, speaking from Copenhagen soon after the first leg of the Lost tour. “For me, everything makes sense on the album because I’ve been listening to it for so many hours. It’s easy to take that for granted sometimes.”...S.T
