The Dialogue Series I, II & III

Description

Hailed by Pitchfork as the most exciting Icelandic band of recent years thanks to their second album Sports, released last year, the enigmatic trio Fufanu announced in early 2018 the release of a series of EPs throughout the year. Each of these EPs explores the band's different sonic personalities: motorik, post-punk, alt-techno, avant-garde electronica, etc. The Dialogue Series brings together these three EPs on a single disc, available in CD and vinyl formats. Back in Iceland after a long tour, the band was able to listen to the many demos written on the road - composed without any concern for sonic coherence. Convinced by the urgency and quality of the tracks, the members contacted DJ and producer Alap Momin, who immediately flew to Iceland. The result of his work on the tracks only underlined the band's desire to separate the records into distinct genres. "It's a dialogue between musicians from different backgrounds, with different approaches and styles, but who maintain this curiosity and desire to work on new genres. (...) People always have this strange urge to categorize everything. But life is not just one thing or another; it's everything that happens between these two extremes."
