Autoband : captivating + icy electronica album from Norway
Artist: Autoband
Album Title: Autoband Label: Beatservice Norway Style: Chill Out / Deep House / Folk-tronica Available Now From: Beatservice Shop / iTunes / Beatport / Juno Download To hear previews of tracks from Autoband’s self-titled album click HERE Autoband is the solo project of Gudmund Østgård, a prolific member of the music scene in Tromsø, Norway. With his warm Scandinavian electronica he blends ambient, glitch and jazz to a surprising and soothing mix. The album sounds a bit like The Cinematic Orchestra snow skiing on the Arctic Circle, meeting up with Boards of Canada and Tycho, and jamming in the hotel room with Ane Brun.* The tracks from the Autoband album showcase the diversity and depth of Østgård's production. Sounds vary from upfront electronica to icy 'chill out' material as well as a couple lilting songs with a gentle female vocal supplied by Østgård's sister. Warm up, lounge, or end-of-the-night after-hours affairs will definitely benefit from a slice of Autoband in the mix.* Originally from Stokmarknes in the north of Norway, Gudmund Østgård has been working with music for theatre, film and TV for years. As a performing artist he has collaborated with Russian electronic artists as well as fellow Tromsø electronica-heads like Gaute Barlindhaug (Aedena Cycle/Kolar Goi/Taigatrost) and Nasra Ali Omar (Nasra & Gaute) on various live projects. He has performed new music for several silent movies, touring Russia recently with a re-recorded version of a Metropolis soundtrack. Østgård has contributed to albums from a.o. Kolar Goi and Anneli Drecker (of Bel Canto fame). He has also been a member of the americana band Milestone Refinery. Nick Warren - "I really like this. Clever production and use of unusual sounds …" Ulysses (Neurotic Drum Band) - " Hard to pick a favorite. A diverse release without being overly so, and cinematic in the right ways." Acid Ted blog - "The album has gentleness but a background crackle, like creaking ice floes." Irregular Disco Workers - "'City Slides' is a slow motion bomb!" Stereo 77 (Research Deluxe) - "Lounge-y, seductive, and wonderfully crafted. Perfect for mix-tapes, warm up sets, and early morning drives." Anji Bee (The Chillcast) - "Nicely chilled with a touch of darkness. Shades of Tycho without the cute factor. I dig the addition of acoustic guitar and female voice - so unexpected." Gavin Hardkiss (Hawke) - "We'll get this on rotation in the yoga studio and around the camp fire." DJ Nutritious (Brooklyn Shakedown) - "'Sunbeam' really speaks to me here - lush, laid-back, pretty. This album is intense and musical... and that's awesome." Bootsy (For The Love radio show) - "A strong and varied album. My pick is 'Rails,' with its four to the floor beats and bluesy guitar/harmonica, it just builds and builds, very fresh sounding. 'City Slides' stands out - choice, chunky weirdo electronic music. Sunbeam deserves an honourable mention. An unexpected folky treat." Brewster Brigham (KISS FM, Australia) - "A delicious and fabulous soul-soothing must-have record for any true musically-minded person. i know it's early but this is the best release for 2012 so far..!!"
