New music from Rangleklods

Danish electronic music artist Rangleklods is a sonic innovator, crafting a sonic universe that’s at once accessible and groundbreaking. Copenhagen-based songwriter and producer Esben Nørskov Andersen creates a musical fabric that fuses the past with the future, approaching music with playful spontaneity.

His live performances, in contrast to the prevalent laptop-centric electronic scene, incorporate a fusion of live elements. His music hops across a spectrum of influences, drawing inspiration from rock, pop, disco and hip hop, resulting in a pulsating, club-ready sound.

First making an entrance in 2011 with his debut single “Home,” he dropped a string of singles and a live record in the build up to his debut album Beekeeper in 2012. Releasing his sophomore LP Straitjacket in 2015, took a break from his solo project for five years, touring the world as part of the Danish duo, Blondage before returning with the EP All About U in 2020.

With more tracks shared last year, he now brings us his latest release with the new single titled “Breathe In, Breathe Out,” the title track from his upcoming album Breathe In, Breathe Out, set to drop next month. Following the release of the album, Rangleklods will be embarking on a tour of Denmark and across Europe to bring his new music to fans in a live environment.

Serving up a slick electronic pop sound, “Breathe In, Breathe Out” kicks off with a bouncy beat as pitched vocal sample shots dance and flutter above the pulse of bass. Rangleklods’ airy vocal leads glide in to thread hushed lines over the arrangement which builds with soft staccato pips and playful interludes.

Building to a subtly anthemic sound driven by the march of the beat as stabbing synths snake among his vocals, resulting in an epic finale over gently danceable and instantly catchy synth pop music. Commenting on his forthcoming record, he shares, “I had a period between Straitjacket and the new record where I lost some of myself and let myself be controlled too much by external factors. It was a period where what was going to happen with a song was more important than my feelings about the song. And over time, that didn’t work for me at all. I have to feel every moment on a record and mean every word I sing. And I have to get there with a smile on my face. That smile returned while I was writing the new album and it’s still there.”
