We Were Dancing
Mixtape vol.1 - we won't get old
Hwem/Namenlos
You can call music like this 'lo-fi soundscapes' (like the label does), try a more descriptive approach with 'drones and field recordings', or just use the term 'experimental music (which really doesn't say that much). But whatever label you might attach to Robin Rådenman's second EP as We Were Dancing on Swedish netlabel Hwem, you'll never quite capture its stark charms and appeal. In a way, the seven tracks on "Mixtape vol.1 - we won't get old" remind me of The Field (minus the hectic loops): Noises, drones and hisses oscillate seemingly uncontrolled until they are varied just in time before they might become boring or unnerving. Don't get me wrong though, this definitely is not "friendly" (read: uninteresting) ambient music. Its texture continuously shifts and demands your full attention until you've explored all its finely crafted details. In short: Brilliant music to replace the urban sounds of your city with.
