about

The Great Vague is an ode to all the music that is now extinct and an ode to all the music that is yet to be born. Still, the music sounds as if it exists on the cusp of a continual now: hypermodern avantgarde electronics blend characteristic, disjointed breakbeats with deconstructed shoegaze, all underpinned by the transcendent sensibilities of devotional music in the vain of Iasos and Matthewdavid’s Mindflight.

On opener and title track, The Great Vague, we’re raised to euphoric heights through a melancholy filter - the ecstasy is somehow realist but no less romantic for it; the bittersweet knowledge of the temporal coupled with a sense of longing; a nostalgia for the present. Where the first half of the track might find itself on the dancefloor, the second half has closed its eyes. The synthetic kick is replaced by a heartbeat (Tettix Hexer’s own) that roots the entire track before an arpeggiated synth spirals in an outward and upward direction. Synths take on qualities of the human voice, and tape delays flutter; seaweed in motion, everything blacklit.

Later, Venhændelse feels like soaring above the clouds, fog and moisture softening the sounds of the city; accentuating other, mechanical sounds that are caught upwind. Club sensibilities are rendered entirely devotional. It’s connected to the city, but it’s beautiful; transcendent. Visible Winds of Spring is sight obscured, but proprioception ensuring that your physical movement is graceful; light- and sure-footedness set to breakbeats and Fruity Loops-sounding bass. VWoS sounds like a windscreen while it rains, tears refracting street lights, or fireworks reflected in a pond of oily water.

Nested somewhere between Stars of the Lid and Boards of Canada, the opening notes of Lidless Sleep feel like a memory that loops and loops; you can’t stop reliving and revising the same situation again and again. Instead of forcing it away; it becomes richer, comes closer with each thematic repetition. The beat adds a feeling of determination and it feels like memory is being worked through - dealt with and digested.

It's a visual and resonant journey, The Great Vague, and a colourful introduction to one of Denmark’s finest electronic producers.
