Since the release of their first album, 11/6 12/10, on Kitty Yo back in 1996, Lippock and Jestram have gained considerable respect from music fans all over the world, progressively taking their instrumental twiddlings to pop terrains while retaining the experimental essence of their work. Dwellers On The Threshold, apparently referring to the ambivalent nature of their music, set somewhere between rock influences and electronic experimentations, their fourth album in seven years, is the fruit of a year’s worth of recordings and collaborations with a variety of artists including Norwegian performance artist Tone Avenstroup, who can be heard on 70 Rupies To Paradise Road which opens this album, Nicholas Addo-Nettey, better known for his involvement with African legend Fela Kuti, and Stefan Schneider. More compact in essence than some of their previous work, Dwellers... is an interesting take on classic seventies rock, evoking the work of Lou Reed (Ronald Lippock’s voice has a lot in common with the Velvet Undergound front man) or Bowie period Low, augmented with textures and ambiences of today. Their cosmic pop takes a sultry turn on this latest offering, with treated guitar sounds becoming increasingly sharp and angular, leaving the lounge influences behind to concentrate on disarmingly simple structures. Songs such as Metal Flakes, 1985, Now or Miracle Of Love are impeccable little pop jewels, perfectly crafted and sounding quite unique.
Following last year’s rather complex and dark Not The Wheel, Dwellers On The Threshold presents a slicker, more straightforward side of the band. Probably one of their most accessible records to date, this album is perfectly set in its time.
