New Year'S Eve - Vinyle Blanc

Description

Challenging expectations is normal for El Ten Eleven, but who would really expect two instrumentalists to create such a vast and complex sound? Through inventive arrangements and masterful use of loops, Kristian Dunn (bass/guitar) and Tim Fogarty (drums) have developed an exciting sound full of atmospheric intensity. They have also built an incredibly enduring career, and the duo attributes this success to the ongoing interest generated by their self-titled debut album released in 2004. El Ten Eleven's music has been embraced by fans of many genres – from math rock to jazz, and even lo-fi hip-hop. The duo's sound is highly evocative in terms of mood and feeling, while simultaneously being abstract and meditative. The combination of these qualities stimulates the imagination and allows listeners to assign their own value and meaning to the sounds. Kristian Dunn seeks emotional impact when creating songs. Sometimes, it may be technically interesting, but it doesn't make him feel anything. He doesn't want interesting music; he wants music that resonates emotionally. The album is produced by Sonny DiPerri (DIIV, Portugal. The Man), and the Southern California duo has already shared a preview with the release of the track "New Year's Eve," a song about cautious optimism. It was written when the pandemic seemed to have a chance of ending and there were many political changes in the air. But even the best-laid plans for New Year's celebrations often end up being disappointing, hence the metaphor.
