Jan Bang, Reading the Air (January 2024). It has become one of my favorite albums of 2024.
Well into 2024, I resisted listening to this album, doubting that a vocal performance by a favorite electronica artist could be any good. Actually, this album is brilliant. If you donât like vocals, think of the voice here as just another instrument; but then you might miss the excellent lyrics.
I found them on a post-punk subreddit I frequent. One of the posts described them as âif The Sound, Interpol, and Echo & The Bunnymen had a babyâ. I canât say I disagree. I hear elements of them all.
