Artist:	PRINTER
Title:	Rhizomatic Baby
Label:	STATLER & WALDORF (DENMARK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	S&W 005CD

This is the second release from this Roskilde-based four-piece band. From its inception as a rock band, Printer morphed its drummer into a keyboardist, and its guitar player into a laptop instrumentalist. Getting more and more integrated as a band by interconnecting instruments through the computer, the name "Printer" became the best way to parallel this merge between digital and analogue. The debut EP release Absence, came close to an album with its 35 minutes of electronic explorations into indie-pop territory. The latest work from the Danish quartet has taken a more dirty and danceable turn from the debut EP while still maintaining an emotional and intellectual focus. With a slight majority of up-tempo techno-based songs, the remaining ambient pop makes a good contrast and adds depth, without dividing the experience of the album. Mentioned influences include: Prince, New Order, Basic Channel, Junior Boys or Reinhard Voigt in a pop guise. Includes an Andreas Tilliander remix (Mille Plateaux, Resopal).

Title:	I Can Take More
Label:	STATLER & WALDORF (DENMARK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	S&W 011CD

This is the third full-length release from this Roskilde-based four-piece band, the follow-up to 2005's acclaimed Rhizomatic Baby. None of the members of Printer have ever been to Ibiza, but after listening to the indie-rock dancefloor refinements of I Can Take More, listeners won't believe it. Their last two albums were an introverted take on recent electronic rock traditions and experiments, but that was before they decided to take a break from the recording of this album, and play a long stretch at the Norberg Festival. Infused with the sounds from the beer tent and a summertime spent in a Swedish forest, these bracing, dancefloor-oriented numbers reflect a live atmosphere and having a good time in the studio. And there are absolutely no guitars on this record, whatsoever. Fans of Junior Boys and The Knife will adore this sound of a band who had never drank so many beers and danced so much in their entire lives.
