Danish producer Trentemøller, known for his diverse musical style ranging from rock, pop, and electronic to dream-pop and synthwave, has ventured further into the shoegaze genre with his upcoming album, self-titled, set to release in November. The lead single, "Terrified," featuring Mew's Jonas Bjerre, is a dreamy, new wave-infused tune that has been compared to the music of M83.
Bjerre not only provided vocals but also contributed to the production, adding new melodies and taking the instrumental further. Trentemøller explained his inspiration behind "Terrified," stating that it represents the mind's attempt to prepare for potential scenarios, embodying fearful and uneasy feelings. The track is considered the most pop-oriented on the album, initially featuring a more shoegaze sound but later refined to be crisper and clearer, with synths taking on a human, almost otherworldly quality.
The full tracklist includes Swerve, Terrified, Visceral, Johnny Boy, Halved, Your Love Walks Alone, To Mist, Coyote, Crash, White Hallways, with a total of 10 tracks. Trentemøller's album will be available on November 13 through In My Room, and pre-orders can be made via the provided link.
