Almost Gone" is the name of Remood's debut ep (extended play) and contains 7 selected tracks of the last two years at almost an album's length.
Remood's sound can be located somewhere between Burial and James Last - vivid bass music with emotional dramaturgy, always a hip swing away from a solid genre classification, personally and openly experimenting with influences of a musical imprint of all that has beat, bass and soul.
The goal - leading the world of thought and emotion into narrowed pathways - has already been given up by Remood providing music that is ostensibly non-minimalist. The world around him is the paint set on which he draws and it shows - layer by layer. Field Recordings from the sad semi province, playful jazzy passages, multilayered beats with a natural swing, warm deep bass runs and an organic, lightly tinkered world of sound and synth assemble in arrangments that are rich in narration.
Escaping habits, at the same time not dissipating, remaining palpable, are the main motives of Remood's production method and the "Almost Gone" ep of the label Freude am Tanzen from Jena is a first signal for more.
Twelve Grapes (Bonus)
The bonus track "Twelve Grapes" reveals itself in a dark and distant manner. The track is borne by an hypnotic bassline and synth chords which proceed to dub-techno-terrain. By the shifting drum elements and exciting modulations, "Twelve Grapes" remains interesting, mysterious and especially danceable until the very end.
