Third album from the acclaimed German electronica DJ and producer David August who’s second full-length album of 2018 entitled D’Angelo on PIAS Recordings. The new venture is the sound of a young artist getting in touch with his roots, exploring new landscapes and freeing inhibitions; deconstructing pop atmospheres while in search of his past, and reforming them into something deeply moving. Inspiration has been drawn from the life and works of the baroque painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, the album fuses laidback pop sensibility with moody cinematographic soundscapes, a departure from his previous sounds. D’Angelo features elements of Balearic pop, noir jazz, post-rock, and the raw genre scramblings of fellow traveller Forest Swords, wound up into something excruciatingly personal. For fans of Nicolas Jaar, Nils Frahm and Apparat.
