ELEKTROKLÄNGE is a Swedish minimalistic electro pop act based in
Stockholm. The band’s signature sound combines repetitive rhythms with
simple catchy melodies. The instrumentation is minimalistic and strictly
electronic while all the lyrics are sung through vocoders and/or
generated by speech synthesis.
ELEKTROKLÄNGE makes strictly non-improvised and meticulously programmed
synth pop music. While remaining true to the “Düsseldorf sound”,
ELEKTROKLÄNGE adds and develops the sound in sometimes unexpected
directions and occasionally employs the piano which often brought the
project to be described as a “more emotionally-charged version of
KRAFTWERK”…
After several highly praised compilation appearances, the “Mechanische
Tänze Nos. 1-4” EP is the band’s first release on the Belgian Alfa
Matrix label who already brought us bands active in a similar electronic
register like METROLAND, NÖVÖ, Sebastian Komor as well as early FRONT
242 material.
Opening with a homage to the Hungarian painter/designer Vilmos Huszár
(one of the founders of the art movement De Stijl) who directly
influenced the cover-art of this release, the “mechanical dance” gets
deconstructed in 4 stunning “tanz acts” (in 4 different languages:
German, English, French & Japanese), all again strongly influenced
by Huszár's "simultaneistic-mechanical dance" at Dada-soirée, held in
Amsterdam on 19th January 1923.
This conceptual EP ends with an amazing extended ”Trudering Klang” mix
of “Mekanischer Tanz”, preceded by another strong carrying “straight
connection mix” of the now already popular song “Approach To Tokyo”
which was originally written to celebrate the Shinkansen’s
50th anniversary (Japan’s famous high-speed railway network): a highly
melodic electronic sound journey from Osaka to Tokyo…
