These are the three promo pics that came with the new Pole album, Steingarten. They're kinda weird, I've always thought of Pole as a very urban-sounding artist. I guess Steingarten has a bit more "natural" sound to it that his previous LPs though.

It's a pity Photobucket doesn't allow me to post bigger versions of the pics, but I can tell you he looks quite happy or bemused in the last two.

Are the poses meant to be funny/ironic? The one on the pier looks like a catalogue shot. They all do rilly.

Ir was kinda funny opening the pics, because I'd never ever seen a pic of Pole before (even though I've listened to his music for years), and this certainly wasn't what I was expecting. I think it's kinda nice how they go against the grain of typical electronic artist pics though - especially the second one, where he looks like some cozy, middle-aged German family man out on a picnic with his beer tankard.
― Tuomas, Monday, 10 December 2007 23:09 (sixteen years ago) link
It's not really against the grain tho, look at Autechre, BoC, Mira Calix, even Roedelius on this thread. Instrumental music has looooooong history of pastoral associations is perhaps another part of why.
― Noodle Vague, Monday, 10 December 2007 23:13 (sixteen years ago) link
What I meant by against grain (besides the fact that it makes a lot more sense for BoC than Pole to pose in the woods) is how decidedly goofy and uncool he looks in these. I wish I could post bigger versions of these pics so you could see them better, is there some better site than Photobucket that'd allow it?

Well, I've never met anyone who'd come to electronic music via the dance side of it, who'd be interested in noise. All noise fans I know are rockers and (ex-)metalheads.

Ha I'm amazed I recognized Pole instantly from those photos which is strange, because I've seen what he looks like, once maybe. Yeah, they do like like promo shots for some one releasing a new-age album or something.
I also guessed right off the bat that that picture of Murcof (it's him cause I checked) was Fax, because he looks mexican. Pretty damn good for such poor criteria!
Either way, everyone here is how I expected them to look except old man mixmaster morris of course. Stockhausen looks like Ian Curtis no? Ha, I'm sure he'll be getting a biopic now. Seriously though, Edgard Varese is actually rather impressive in his appearance, combines the mad-scientist in his/her lab with the eccentric professor look and comes out like a true any Musique Concrete artist should (whatever that implies)
