Mix the essence of MGMT, the darkness of Zola Jesus, the groove of The Whitest Boy Alive put atop of Morricone's or Calexico's shimmering desert landscapes and around the sexiness and lasciviousness of the Chromatics or Glass Candy, and you've got The Building, a trio from Hamburg based around the fabled drummer Sven Elsner (ex-Tigerbeat), as well as writer and singer Daniel Chun and pianist and second lead vocalist Tina Kaempe. In this Building there is no exterior nor interior, it comes from within and in two fully different tonal structures as a double release with the same songs, in different versions and on two labels, Clouds Hill (Part 1) and Questions & Answers (Part 2). Architects that need their fixed floorplan might call it a "folk-rock album" or "electro-album," but that's only half of it. Building The Building means ethereal spaces and oscillating sound, conveyed on fragile CinemaScope. This is actual meta-pop with the right amounts of enigma.
