Copenhagen’s Anders Trentemøller has long been respected as a creator of extraordinarily memorable melodies and dark soundscapes. While many artists follow a pattern of invention and reinvention, Anders’ arc has been a series of points along the same curve, playing the long game with each release representing the next chapter in a constantly evolving series. Contrasts and paradoxes are often explored. Other themes may revolve around reminiscence and remembrance, while eschewing nostalgia. His upcoming full-length, Dreamweaver (13.09.24), will continue on this track, combining elements of shoegaze, dark wave, motorik, noise rock and somber, introspective takes on electronic pop but in a considerably more psychedelic manner. The chronology of its 10 songs as a whole are an immersive experience which present additional otic pleasures when headphones are strapped on. In 2006 Trentemøller released his groundbreaking debut full-length The Last Resort. This milestone of electronic music exposed his work to a far wider audience. Since assembling his first full live band, in 2007, Trentemøller has embarked on multiple world tours, playing nearly 500 shows, regularly selling out venues. The five studio albums that followed, Into the Great Wide Yonder (2010), Lost (2013), Fixion (2016), Obverse (2019) and Memoria (2022), came out on his own label imprint In My Room. Trentemøller also compiled multiple compilations. He will continue touring with his live band from autumn 24.
