Black Noise seamlessly blends organic synthesized sounds with subtle acoustics whilst exploring the realms of shoegaze and contemporary guitar work.
This third instalment by German producer Hendrik Weber (Pantha Du Prince) maintains a lustrous string of clicks, sticks and beats forever evolving into an orgasmic amalgamation of techno and minimal house.
Unlike his the previous album The Bliss, this latest record is far less channelled, allowing for greater variance, making it more tolerable as an album. There is a strong presence of highly emotionally charged ambience in Im Bann, but A Nomads Retreat is considerably more club friendly.
Black Noise does not flow in the conventional sense; it offers irregularity, where tracks divert and blossom with great vividness and dexterity, occasionally running in juxtaposition to the original idea.
Attracting listeners from a wider spectrum are contributions from Panda Bear (aka Noah Lennonx) and Tyler Pope of LCD Soundsystem. They add to the integrity of Hendrik’s work, and place high value on his own abilities as artist.
Pantha Du Prince is at the forefront of modern techno, with a break from his former style and signing to Rough Trade, he has created more anticipation upon the release of Black Noise than he has ever done.
