OUT: album 'Dreamweaver' by Trentemøller

Trentemøller returns with 'Dreamweaver', a 10-song album showcasing his signature blend of dark, atmospheric soundscapes with a psychedelic twist.

Featuring vocals from Disa, the album opens with the haunting 'A Different Light' and drifts through the hypnotic 'Nightfall' before hitting the intense noise rock of 'Behind My Eyes'.

Balancing between serene moments like 'Empty Beaches' and the dynamic 'In A Storm', 'Dreamweaver' is both familiar and fresh, pushing Trentemøller’s sound into new, exciting territory.

The album tour will take Trentemøller and band from the opening show at Hamburg’s spectacular Elbphilharmonie to almost 30 more destinations around Europe.

Out: album 'Dark Portrait' by Soela

Soela is the DJ and production alias of Elina Shorokhova, a Russia-born Berlin-based experienced pianist and vocalist who has made a hugely impactful transition into electronic music.

Having released material on such labels as Kompakt, Dial, Shall Not Fade, Lost Palms, E-Beamz, Red Ember Records, Sushitech, and others, Soela joins the ranks of Scissor & Thread for this exquisite album 'Dark Portrait'.

The album opens in a typically understated manner with Unsuitable - a melancholic trip-hop adjacent track that sets the tone for the next 8 pieces. As Soela explains, “I was dealing with some very complex feelings, so I came up with this album, which helped me not to despair, to work on myself, to grow internally, and to start listening to myself. It helped me to keep sane when my country invaded Ukraine with a full scale war. It absolutely broke my heart, and music was one of my main salvations.”

This complex mix of emotions plays out across the album with tracks that utilize her beautiful musicality (Through the Windows feat. Francis Harris and Philipp Priebe, Drowning feat. Module One) and ear for details with skittering beats, ambient soundscapes (Spirits, Lost In The Fog) and lose-yourself dancefloor moments such as the collaboration with Lawrence on February Is Not Going To Be Forever. The title track Dark Portrait combines dubby elements with affecting pads and melodic touches, while the lead single Even If I Ask You Stay delves into multiple feelings around escaping toxic situations, and battling depression. It features a powerful vocal from Soela supported by a deeply affecting arrangement. The closing track The Darkest Hour Before Sunrise brings a sense of hope and light, balancing subdued keys and strings with ethereal tones and atmospheres.
