Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

LINDSTRØM ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF SIX CUPS OF REBEL, OUT FEBRUARY 6TH ON SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND

With the latest album from dance producer Hans-Peter Lindstrøm, Norway’s latest entry in the space race has been launched out of the wooded outskirts of Oslo. Six Cups Of Rebel, Lindstrøm’s third solo album, is a super-sized cosmic disco rocket that burns up a galaxy of eclectic influences in its wake, from Bach to Deep Purple, from Prog rock and arpeggiator disco to Acid House, while sounding sleek and utterly contemporary. He may worship at the temple of godlike European DJs from the 80s like Daniele Baldelli and Beppe Loda, but the relentless, occasionally monumental scale of Six Cups Of Rebel has the power to move mountains all by itself.

Lindstrøms Six Cups of Rebel is set for release February 6th on Smalltown Supersound.

i like "de javu", it's...bigger, more maximalist, more...mungolian jet set, than i was expecting

that's a good comparison yeah - it could've fitted onto the last Lindstrom album but is also commendably different

This is fantastic, there seems to be a bit of a microtrend among nu-disco types leaning towards big clattery walls of Goodmen-esque drums, of which this is a relatively restrained example. I approve.

"It's Lindstrøm's first record to feature his own vocals."

how do we feel about this

normal

he hasn't done anything shitty yet so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

this song was basically made to be played immediately after Thriller

The L&C album had some of his vocals and was just fine for it.

This track is nuts.

Reaaaaaaaaaaallly fucking nuts.

Ends pretty suddenly doesn't it? I'm now expecting some ridiculous epic where everything fits together.

Actually, what am I talking about? I was expecting that in the first place.

press play. dance. repeat.

don't want to wait til february tbh

Yeah, that's him singing on "Let It Happen," no?

Yup.

press play. dance. repeat.

This is how I live my life.

so massive it's ridiculous, v psyched if the whole album is in this vein

xpost as everyone should.

this is bonkers.

cover art is so ugly, and all his stuff has looked so good in the past.

I like both the picture and the font. The picture feels very early-to-mid-2000s for me, which is the era I've been nostalgic for lately.

This is so good, and Feb is so far away.

track is too nuts, its like dude took everything about him i enjoyed savoring and barfed it all over my face

that might change after a few listens tho i guess.

i love the cover art tho

yeah i don't like it one bit.

the rest of the album is pretty much in the same register. doesnt necessarily sound like de javu but its hella maximalist

from Bach to Deep Purple, from Prog rock and arpeggiator disco to Acid House

p.r. description seems otm and not in a good way

don't really like De Javu

not into this track AT ALL.

the album isnt bad but its not really grabbing me the way his other stuff does... i should listen to it more but theres kinda too much going on, and the bad is mixed right in w/ the good

first track is 5 minutes of organ arpeggios

wait, is this album out there already?!??! if so, give me it.

i am not sure about this album at all

it's way maximalist and there are a billion things happening but i'm not getting a sense of what's underneath it

i want it!

yeah lex--i keep listening to it and then not really remembering any of it. there are bits and pieces that grab me but...

maybe you haven't actually heard it yet

maybe it's one of these records you can never truly hear.

I...don't think i like this album

me neither. way too busy and "wacky."

wacky is the word

well I like it enough for both of you guys and probably everyone else in the world

I like it a lot. Definitely functionally different from his other stuff, and wild with the comb filtering on everything

I don't hate this but it does seem a bit of a mis-step, especially the end of Magik and the first two minutes of Call Me Anytime.

listened to this for the first time today while shoveling my driveway. good snow shoveling music.

(usual grumble)

Is this actually out yet? Available to listen or purchase anywhere (legally)?

Liked it well enough on first listen. (I think it's still promo at this point.)
