« THE BORDER » – NEW SINGLE OUT 11TH OF OCTOBER
Nicolas Godin shares new track “The Border”in anticipation to his new solo album due for release early next year via Because Music. With its soft ambient pulse and melting minimalism, “The Border” is a perfect entry-point to Godin’s new music, its levitating synths, vocoded vocals and scudding bass drifting into view with understated elegance.Four years after releasing his acclaimed debut solo album Contrepoint which channelled the influence of Bach into a rich, resonant and hugely rewarding spread of musical explorations, the founder of groundbreaking French electronic group Air continues the musical journey that began when1998’sMoon Safari, became the sublimely weightless soundtrack of its time.Of the track Godin states: “I wrote this song thinking of the great architect Mies van der Rohe. He built the Barcelona pavilion in 1929 on the hill of Montjuic inBarcelona and this building swept away all the past of the history of architecture to open a new page of human history, making the world enter into modern architecture. In short, it’s the story of someone who asks some others to follow him to the Spanish border by the sea to show them a new path towards freedom and peace…leaving everything behind.”Alden Volney directs the visually seductive accompanying video of which he says: “I wanted to explore the idea of freeing yourself from all the clutter and the
noise, both physical and emotional.It’s about travel. Being hundreds of kilometers away from home and the identity crisis inducing realisation that you’re letting the stuff you hoard define you.It’s about strange, exciting new frontiers» .
