Cosmic guitar and robot vocals meet the Underwater Disco – Pekka Laine and The Enchanted‘s new single is out today – Second album will be released via Svart Records in September 2024.
“In a dream I heard music with a strange bubbling sound. People were dancing to it in a surreal, cavernous space. What is this, I asked. One of the dancers stopped and answered. It’s an underwater disco. In the morning, I grabbed my guitar and tried to recall what I had heard. Those foggy fragments became Malibu Beach”.
Watch the official visualizer for “Malibu Beach” through the YouTube player below:
For Pekka Laine, the twang of an electric guitar is not a warm blanket of nostalgia. Instead, the echoing sound usually associated with surf and retro instrumentals is a ticket to the imaginary. “Malibu Beach” is the first glimpse of the follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut, “The Enchanted Guitar of Pekka Laine.”
On this sonic journey, Laine is joined by The Enchanted, his powerhouse live band that has taken both festival and club stages by storm. Pekka Laine and his trusty space-age guitar take the listener to a place where a futuristic and humid disco sound, perfect with obese beats and robotic vocals, reigns supreme. Trippy vocoder vocals and Moog wizardry are provided by Antti Vuorenmaa, the synth sensei associated with several leading Finnish indie bands and a trusted member of the extended Enchanted family.
Pekka Laine‘s second album “Pekka Laine & The Enchanted in Slumberland” will be released on 27th of September 2024 digitally, CD and in three different vinyl versions: on a classic black vinyl, wonderful transparent green vinyl and limited edition of 100 white/green/orange marble vinyl hand-crafted by Pekka Laine himself at the Helsingin Levypuristamo. This limited edition is available only via the Svart Records webstore.
