On ekko, the two Scandinavian musicians explore ambient compositions with a cool, Nordic foundation – created in the Danish city of Kolding. Expansive synth layers meet melodies with a nostalgic sensibility, while the ambient structures remain uncompromising in both length and arrangement. With this release, we are definitely keeping an eye on Copenhagen/Stockholm-based music collective and label Contemplating Others.
The album is by producers and composers Gustav Them Oxenbøll (Them) and Marcus Bjørn Larsen (eurostar). It’s their first full-length project together under their own names. In recent years, the two have also worked together in the trio Heartbreak Hotel with producer Niklas Krautz – a project that began with an aesthetic fascination for eurodance, used as a starting point to develop a shared sonic universe. This new album under their own names is an evolution of that process – a portrait of their shared language and artistic chemistry.
Behind Them is Danish musician Gustav Them Oxenbøll – with a background in chill beats, a passion for sound design in games, and a sharp eye for dance aesthetics. His latest release Untitled_002 received attention from, among others, Year_0001, Hidden NY, DMY, and Stereofox.
eurostar is the alias of Marcus Bjørn Larsen, a Danish composer who in recent years has worked on electronic music for everything from experimental soundscapes to cross-disciplinary projects. He has taken part in a number of collaborations across different formats, but this album marks his first official release under the Eurostar name.
