GUS GUS "24/7" IS OUT NOW!!
Buy it directly from the band:
The GusGus Superstore
You could compare GusGus’s 6th studio album with a whale. An animal that spends most of its time under the surface, but when it comes up above sea-level, it usually surfaces with a magnificent speciality – much like the latest GusGus creation. Therefore, you should not glean over this work; every moment of it is laid out with painstaking and elaborate candour.
24/7 is a wet dream
The spine of the music is original, created in the 'intestines’ of GusGus. 'On the Job' is the working man..s phrenetic song to the unbroken animal called love. The opus 'Thin Ice' describes the bloated donkey dancing on ice. And in 'Add This Song' the listener is encouraged to add that particular song to his collection.
The GusGus analogue sound environment has never been better, and Daníel Ágúst’s vocals take the reigns again and thus opens the group’s variability to new heights. As on previous occasions GusGus performs a song written by Jimi Tenor, the fantastic 'Take me Baby' where Jimi Tenor is a guest singer. 'Hateful' is a pretty family-type song that GusGus and Aaron-Carl composed together while being on different sides of the Atlantic.
GusGus are easily one of the most well known acts in electronic music today with over 5 million albums sold in their illustrious career. Don’t call it a comeback but their signing to Kompakt marks a crucial step forward for the band and dare we say their most impressive recordings to date. It also marks the return of Daníel Ágúst as a full member for the first time since the 4AD years.
24/7 is an overwhelming, multifarious, interwoven and braided musical atmosphere where the listener has to surrender to the music and adhere to the conditions that the music demands. For fifty-six minutes. (Music News)
