TRENTMOLLER – “MEMORIA” //In My Room// (Released 11th February)

Description

£24.99 – 2xLP, Gatefold Vinyl (plus DL Code)

Trentemøller’s sixth studio album seems to exist at the confluence of inspiration, coincidence, and maybe even a little bit of the supernatural.

An unanticipated drop of four songs, in the form of two singles (no one quite like you, and golden sun), might leave one surprised to find that a full album’s worth of material was also waiting in the wings. As with most Trentemøller releases, it’s a body of songs that are thematically linked by many melodic threads. 2019’s Trentemøller album ‘obverse’ was an exercise in what could be done if the prospect of performing the songs onstage wasn’t a factor. It opened up some doors, and signaled a new chapter. Memoria, even considering its resplendence, almost feels like it demands to be presented live as well.

Tracklisting:

Veil of white
No more kissing in the rain
Darklands
Glow
In the gloaming
The rise
When the sun explodes
Dead or alive
All too soon
A summer’s empty room
Swaying pine trees
Drifting star
Like a daydream
Linger
