Two and a half years after their acclaimed record Less Is Endless, De Beren Gieren are back with their new full album What Eludes Us. New single 'The Houses' gives a taste of the electro-acoustic jazz trio's forthcoming seventh album.
The Houses immediately emerges as a catchy tune with a hopeful melody, carried and propelled by electronic-sounding drums. In its essence, it is a pared-down EDM track. It’s the soundtrack to a wandering tribe traveling through Europe, their minds filled with expectations and nostalgia, marveling at beautiful landscapes and cities gliding past their trailers. What happens behind the facades of all those houses and in those people's minds?
What Eludes Us
For this new full album, the band left aside the unimaginable beauty of the Norwegian fjords and crawled into a dusty recording studio in Bergen harbour. They did so with the celebrated and mysterious producer Jørgen Træen (a.o. Jaga Jazzist), who silently watched over the imperfections and interference as a guiding force behind the adept playing of the electro-acoustic jazz trio.
Full album What Eludes Us by De Beren Gieren will be released on 29 March 2024 via Sdban Ultra.
Pre-order the album via Bandcamp.
