The Winterhymn

The first new music from Hendrik Weber - a.k.a Pantha Du Prince - since his 2013 collaboration with The Bell Laboratory, and the first proper Pantha Du Prince release in six years. Pantha Du Prince's 2010 masterpiece, long-player 'Black Noise', is well acknowledged to have expanded both the sonic and emotional possibilities of minimal techno; the songs' warmth, intricacy, and creative boundary-pushing, have earned him a seat in the Pantheon of modern electronic music, alongside contemporaries like Burial, Four Tet, or The Field. With his wildly-anticipated new music, Weber expands his scope: the crystalline delicacy of 'The Winterhymn' is deeply evocative of the track's namesake season; 'Post human palisades' finds him merging electronic and organic instrumentation into a delicate narrative of alienation and other, bolstered by a pulsing dance floor heartbeat; and 'Dream Yourself Awake' is filmic and transfixing.
