Lindstrøm, Bungl (Like a Ghost) [feat. Jenny Hval].

If Lindstrøm’s Tensions – lifted from this week’s It’s Alright Between Us As It Is full-length – ‘serve[d] as the firmest reminder of the Norwegian’s enduring adroitness when it comes to knocking up driving aural voyages’, then the Jenny Hval-featuring Bungl (Like a Ghost) conversely exhibits his more esoteric, experimental side. For while hints of his trademarked space-disco underpin the piece, this most protean composition instead takes in pianos suggestive of Trent Reznor’s more spartan arrangements, a slightly Congotronic outro, and Hval’s very best, totally seductive Charlotte Gainsbourg impression. “This is my inscription/ This is my handwriting,” she’ll reiterate with increasing conviction, and while this one may not go down as a signature Lindstrøm track any time soon, it’s certainly further piqued our intrigue ahead of Friday’s release…

It’s Alright Between Us As It Is is available from this Friday, 20th October via Smalltown Supersound / Feedelity Recordings.
