PRESSYES - On The Run (Ltd. LP+MP3, White Vinyl) (Sealed) (LP)

The driving force behind Ren? M?hlberger aka PRESSYES is the desire for creative processes that always feel new. The album "On The Run" appears like a kaleidoscope of images and emotions: Somewhere between a sunny road trip in a vintage car and a faded Californian dream, unforgettable memories appear on an old Polaroid. PRESSYES takes us on one of these journeys with the "Hideaway" bursting with lust for life, the psychedelic "Touch The Sky" or the beat-heavy "On The Run". "Summertime" and "Fountains" spread a relaxed, cosy, almost melancholic summer feeling and "California" awakens images of breaking waves on the beach and wind blowing through your hair. The colourful pictures are complemented by the driving "Carry Me Away" and the optimistic "Children Of The Sun", finally the gentle "Well Come Back" rounds off this trip, with the awareness that coming back can also be something good. The ten tracks on "On The Run" create an extraordinary sound world with a touch of reminiscence to the old days of pop of the seventies. They are correspondingly colorful and interspersed with psychedelic textures. M?hlberger himself seems like the Austrian incarnation of a Californian beach boy - cheerful and melancholic at the same time - the album itself is full of longing and optimism. With a smile he thinks of the sound aesthetics of'then' without getting stuck in it, looks forward with a determined look and thus contrasts the evidenced nostalgia.
