Lars Pellarin is a minimalist techno artist from Denmark, probably most recognizable to readers here as being a member of Printer (via the Malmö-based Adrian Recordings). He also runs his own label Statler & Waldorf and puts out an assortment of elegant/eloquent techno records from other artists such as Mikkel Meyer and Melk. His new solo album "Gundsø" is named after the city he grew up in, north of Roskilde and is mostly a subdued affair, minimalist to the nth degree. Melodies struggle to rear their head above the smooth plateau of sound; generally speaking, it pulses along smoothly, content to elicit the barest of head-bobs. "Whistle like you're 56" is easily the most "pop" track on said record as it's one of two that feature vocals and, of those two, the only one to feature actual recognizable words. Still, the pop label is a bit of a stretch as I wouldn't expect to see it climbing the charts anytime soon -- not that it means it isn't worth hearing (it is!), it's just not that kind of track. This is head music. Crank it up and zone out!

Statler & Waldorf is streaming the new record "Gundsø" from Danish electronic artist/label co-founder/Printer sideproject Pellarin: http://www.statler-waldorf.dk/releases/gundsoe.php
It's a far more minimalist sound than Printer, but also very recommended.
