D E N S E L A N D
DENSELAND: plays landscapes, tells unknown stories and collides unlikely beats.
DENSELAND: creates an acoustic expanding universe where MOSS' vocal plays on a rhythmic-hypnotic
surface created by STROBL ’s basses, and LEICHTMANN ’s drums and electronics.
Their music is radically intense, charged with energy, crackling. Yet DENSELAND’s energy doesn’t come from
what is typically called »power«. On the contrary, DENSELAND masters the art of reduction.
If you want, you can find references to the gray area between free improvisation and post-punk, yet all that
only offers at most a vague orientation, since DENSELAND’s form is more open and without a rock-like structure,
uses pauses cleverly as a stylistic device to give their music even more presence, and hints here and there
at traces of dub. It all creates a seductive groove, never demanding, never pushy, but subtle, dusky,
ambiguous and intense.
