TRANSPARENT VINYL! Whether their muses are the sci-fi soundtracks of the sixties, THE RADIOPHONIC WORKSHOP, the retrofuturist of BROADCAST, the dream pop of ANGELO BADALAMENTI and JULEE CRUISE, or the glittering veils of MAZZY STAR, makes no difference here. What makes the difference, however, is the fact that DEATH AND VANILLA have woven a stunning carpet from all their influences and turned it into a grandiose album of kaleidoscopic proportions: "To Where The Wild Things Are." Named after the Children's Book of Maurice Sendak The album "Popmusik" with a wild, dreamy and experimental approach and celebrates the imagination and travels into the remote regions of the spirit. Founded by Marleen Nilsson and Anders Hansson in Malm?, Sweden, DEATH AND VANILLA use vintage equipment like vibraphone, organ, mellotron, tremolo guitar and Moog Snythie and the Soundtracks of the Sixties and Seventies, Library Music, Krautrock, French Ye-Ye Pop and Psych. They make themselves cozy in the warmth of the older analogue instruments and create an organic sound, where every loose cable and every unusual Noise contributes to the lush atmosphere. Tempting soundscapes, moody moogies, blurred melodies and breathless vocals with influences ranging from TOM DISSEVELT to NORMAN WHITFIELD from THE ZOMBIES to SUN RA and BO HANSSON from ENNION MORRICONE to the BBC RADIOPHONIC WORKSHOP
