Rumpistols characteristic combination of intricate compositions and catchy melodies is continued on his 3rd album 'Dynamo'. Here drum-machines and synths merge effortlessly with more traditional instruments like pianos and strings.
The album is balanced between an introverted expression and a more outward-looking experience, while an ongoing alternation between melancholy and optimism adds a tinge of nostalgia.
This is enhanced by the orchestration and production, which contain references to both new and old electronic music (i.e. glitch, techno, dub (-step) and ambient), yet at the same time pointing towards rock, jazz and classical music.
"Highly recommended to all who require a shining beacon to get them through the dark depression of Winter." - Experimusic.
"Where a lot of electronic releases have flopped this year, Rumpistol is set to steal the limelight." - The Silent Ballet.
"Beautiful harmonic structures topple over spiralling rhythms, leaving you spell-bound." - Scanner.
Written and produced by Jens Berents Christiansen.
