Germany’s Brandt Brauer Frick Ensemble is releasing their debut album, Mr. Machine, next Tuesday via !K7 Records, and the band will also be heading over for a rare North American tour in support of the album. To coincide, the band has premiered their decadent new video for “Pretend,” a reinterpretation of one of Emika’s (Ninja Tune) songs from her debut album. The video was gorgeously produced by Park Bennett Films and directed by Julian Schleef & Daniel Brandt; it’s something you truly need to watch to fully wrap your head around. Head over to Consequence of Sound to check out the premiere, and be sure to download the free MP3 of “Pretend” while you’re at it!
Expanding on last year's Brandt Brauer Frick debut You Make Me Real, Mr. Machine takes the German trio's sound and concept to the next level, adding a full 10-piece ensemble and fusing minimal techno with classical instrumentation. This is an album which rewards repeat listens, as the sounds and arrangements are dense with intricate nuance.
The new album was recorded using a handmade approach, utilizing opulent and unconventional instrumentation: violin, cello, harp, piano, trombone, tuba, timpani, marimba, vibraphone, drum set, various percussion and a Moog synthesizer, the results of which yield an utterly unique sound palate. They’re coming over to the US (in their core three-person incarnation) for a full tour in October/November (find the full routing here).
