Editor's review
Most Danish DJs and electronic producers these days are getting attention specifically for their somewhat homogeneous shiny club bangers--but not Kasper Bjorke, and thankfully. His songs change up a bit along the way, touching on everything from glitch-pop to electro to indie, vocals strung loosely and endearingly around varying dance beats.
Biography
Renowned Danish DJ and Producer Kasper Bjorke is thrilled to announce the international release of In Gumbo, his outstanding new solo album. Released October 19th on Plant Music, In Gumbo takes the best parts of synth-fueled club music, New York punk funk and intelligent pop and subtly suffuses them with a glorious cinematic effervescence.
Despite winning a Danish Music Award as Best Producer and numerous DJ awards, Bjorke's new album is not at all like a generic "Producer slash DJ" album. Instead, In Gumbo is a challenging, organic and deeply personal album, which draws you into the darkest corners of Bjorke's musical mind, yet never loses the edge and nerve of the nightclub. At times, In Gumbo is a melancholic voyage into an electrifying soundscape, other times it careens wildly between psychedelic neon pop, edgy techno, disco and electro-rock.
