[deleted] This is Swedish minimal techno artist Johan Skugge's second full-length album under his own name. Containing ten vocal and instrumental tracks, including two tracks featuring vocalist Laura Delicata, this album reveals Skugge's ambition to examine and elaborate the intricacies of the club music genre as it hedges towards the borderlands of tech-house with a disco twist. The result is a well-produced and coherent album, yet full of curious turns and unexpected creative elements. Musically, Volume connects to well-known and classic genre experiments such as Thomas Brinkmann's project Soul Centre and Vladislav Delay's Luomo, while still remaining true to it's distinctive anti-traditionalism, which is also sustained by Delicata's peculiar and beautiful voice. His prior release Objects and Buildings established him at the zenith of the Swedish minimal techno scene associated with internationally renowned Swedish artists such as Andreas Tilliander and Mikael Stavöstrand. Skugge also has a thick list of collaborations within the Swedish experimental techno/art/experimental music scene. In addition, Skugge was a member of Swedish rock bands Yvonne, Rockmonster and Harlem before he started to focus on his solo music.
