Shares New Single “Into The Silence”
Embarking on North American Tour this Month
unfolding slowly yet majestically scene by scene.” – Billboard“Trentemøller’s instrumental arrangements are expressive enough in their own right.” – AllMusic“…characteristically dreamy…Sometimes these songs project danger or disorientation, but they also project wonder and weightlessness.” – American Songwriter
“…an evocative blend of shoegazerish dream-pop and atmospheric post-rock” – KEXP
“[‘In The Gloaming’ is] a dusky synth-streaked dream-pop track” – Stereogum
“[‘Into The Silence’] It makes sense that two artists develop a sense of chemistry…
yet such an arrangement rarely results in the type of collaboration debuted by Trentemøller and his recent tourmate Dísa today.” – FLOOD Magazine
“With ‘Memoria,’ he enters his mind palace, crafting shimmering, shoegazy dreampop…
like mist rising off the lake.” – BrooklynVegan

Danish composer, musician, and producer Trentemøller returns today with his newest single “Into The Silence.” First premiered via FLOOD Magazine, the dreamy, guitar and synth driven track fits seamlessly into the musical universe of his latest album Memoria, released earlier this year to acclaim from Stereogum, American Songwriter, BrooklynVegan, KEXP, and more. The song features the vocals of DíSA (Dísa Jakobs), who will be singing in Trentemøller’s all new band on a highly anticipated North American tour, beginning later this month. Dísa’s vocals perfectly weave through the track, sometimes floating above, and sometimes shining through from the engine room.
“During our recent tour,” says Trentemøller, “Dísa and I spoke about doing a song together. It felt quite obvious, as we really developed a common language when we played so many concerts together already. After finishing our first leg of the tour, I immediately went to the studio and wrote the music for this song. It really came to me easily as I felt quite inspired. Dísa then wrote this beautiful and bittersweet text that compliments the music so well I think. And her unique voice just melts into the music in a very natural way.”
Trentemøller will also be joined on stage by an all new band consisting of four carefully selected musicians: Icelandic solo artist DíSA (vocals and guitar), who possesses exactly the ethereal voice that Trentemøller has been searching for to perform the haunting vocal melodies from Memoria; Silas Tinglef (drums) is releasing music as 2nd Blood, whose debut EP was produced and mixed by Trentemøller and released on In My Room; Brian Batz (guitar) is the man behind dream pop/shoegaze band Sleep Party People; and Jacob Haubjerg (bass), who has long been playing with bands like Sleep Party People and Savage Rose, while also releasing music via his indie pop/post punk project Luster.
Copenhagen-based producer TOM and His Computer, another artist on Trentemøller’s In My Room label, will act as support across the North American dates. His most recent album, Future Ruins (2020), was co-produced and mixed by Trentemøller. While previous offerings have taken listeners to the outer boundaries of what can be considered “electronic music”, including nods to dark wave, dream pop, krautrock and modern psych rock, Future Ruins presents those influences in a new way and represents a great leap forward for the artist.
In stark contrast to his previous studio album Obverse (2019), Memoria is intended – and almost demands – to be presented in a live setting at the venues and festivals which we have all been longing for during these past couple of years. Tickets and dates are available here.
