Straight in the wake of their eponymous debut LP released on the label back in 2016, Weval return to Kompakt this year with their sophomore album,
'The Weight', breaking their pop-mellow, nostalgia-friendly facet further out in the open as they arrive "at this place again were everything felt
spontaneous, new and exciting, like we had in the beginning". Orbiting around that ever luminous yet wistful melodic halo that surrounds their
music, this second full-length effort sweeps an extra-wide and languidly woven palette of emotions and moods, making for a uniquely ambitious and
generously coloured mosaic of sound.
If the recording sessions "often started grumpy and emotionless" by Harm and Merijn's own admission, the pair was "surprised by the joy it gave us,
which can be compared to the emotions we felt back in the first days of making music together"; subsequently reconnecting with that fresh, naïve
feeling of "absolute creative freedom" they were after. The album is also the fruit of a whole new working process for them - more playful and
unpredictable - which saw them switch from "guitars lying around to piano, onto our own synths and the most cheap quirky toys synths you can
imagine", and involved "recording all of our own samples, voice and almost every instrument out of the box - which for us was a totally new way of
working". |
