UUUU is the band’s seventh full-length studio album since forming in 2003, and it’s a beautifully crafted record that explores myriad sonic palettes across a deftly considered offering of stirring vocal electronica cuts.
It’s another career-defining moment for three artists whose collective creativity and musicianship know no bounds. The album’s thirteen majestic vocal-led pieces, including the critically praised album singles Mermaids, Summer, Silence & Secrets, and UUUU with Rampa, are a wonderfully engaging and expressive body of work spanning a stunning range of texture, tonality, and timbre. An ethereal selection of brand new vocal offerings, including The Fall, Moon After Moon, Elsewhere ft. Kat Frankie, LIFE, Everyday with Rampa, Never Alone, and 11-11 ft. AVA4K (among others) accompany these established favorites as WhoMadeWho takes the listener on a mind-altering journey through sound to bring us one of the most eagerly anticipated records of 2022 so far.
With this latest opus, WhoMadeWho continues to delight in the blurring of musical boundaries, recreating its long-standing fondness for organic, instrument-led music inside a uniquely electronic paradigm. As modular soundscapes and stripped-back instrumentation bolster the hypnotic spirit of WhoMadeWho’s musical hallmark to conjure a thought-provoking journey that keeps the listener on their toes from the outset, chugging down-tempo cuts sit handsomely alongside juxtaposed and moments of reflective melancholy and rousing euphoria.
UUUU means a lot to us. The album points towards new adventures both in the studio and playing live around the world. It’s very clean and yet very playful at the same time. Inspired by both 90’s and 00’s Electronica and 80’s Post-Disco, stylistically UUUU is still kept within our own Whomadewho indie-club frame. We worked with the producer Rampa from Keinemusik on the album. He pushed us at times when we were stuck, he changed multiple demos of ours that were heading for the trash and turned them into great songs. He also worked brilliantly, finding the core-essence of our extensive levels of creative inputs. Not an easy task, since we are often all over the place. UUUU is loaded with new colors. Kat Frankie joined us on several tracks, giving us an inspiring female counterpart. Also Frank Wiedeman, Jens Kuross, Davide Rossi, AVA4K and others helped us levitate. We have tried to make the album a voyage and a psychadelic trip to the best of our abilities. We hope you like it.
