Three years in the making, with more false starts than an olympic relay race, the time has finally come for Das Pop to release their incredible new album. Recorded and mixed by Soulwax in a host of studios across Europe, the record has already grown a reputation of it's own in music circles. Spoken about in hushed tones and dogged with rumour much like the Stone Roses 'Second Coming' and Wilco's 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot', this is a career defining album.
A genre spanning album.
An instant classic.
From album opener 'Underground' the sonic spectrum unfolds over the ensuing 12 tracks to leave the listener in no doubt that this is the rawest and most direct record Das Pop have ever recorded. Gone are the synthesizers and sequencers of previous albums, to be replaced with the simple sound of three musicians in a studio. As Stephen Daewale put it: "They're such a brilliant live band that we wanted to capture that on tape. So we literally just recorded them playing together in a room. And because they're such good musicians and songwriters, the results sounded amazing."
With nods to everyone from Joe Meek, to the Eagles, to Michael (and Joe) Jackson, and beyond, it's a record for all seasons, all moods, and for all ages.
Just press play...
