In the Iris – DEATH AND VANILLA: Are you a Dreamer (Fire Records, 2019)

#TheJangleBox #NovedadesTheJangleBox #DescubreTheJangleBox #RememberTheJangleBox

“The trio’s love of all things “old” is well known – they’ve tinkled ivories, played vibraphone, recorded with a Sennheiser microphone and a nod to everything from Fun Boy Three to Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Contonou, while still roaming somewhere between an ambient Eno and Cocteau Twins at a late-night soiree.
Prior to recording their new album ‘Are You A Dreamer?’, they scored several soundtracks, that process undoubtedly influencing the new album’s dreamlike euphoria built with added mellotron and affected electric guitar. Expanded with bass and drums in their quest for the grail, Death And Vanilla’s songs are longer; more plush and pampered; more hypnotic and haunting.
‘Are You A Dreamer?’ is melancholy at its most refined, riddled with super-memorable motifs and melodies that nestle in reflective echo. Death And Vanilla are an alluring confection, hard to resist and wantonly moreish as Marleen Nilsson’s sepia tones are embraced by the trio’s gorgeous arrangements and intricate ambience” (Press)

In Flames – DEATH AND VANILLA: A flaw in the iris (Advanced Single, Fire Records, 2019)

“A Flaw In The Iris is the perfect soundtrack for driving at night in the middle of nowhere. A hypnotic pop song that is dreamy and close at the same time. We feel that the new album balances much on the border between dream and reality, somewhere in a twilight country with both light and darkness on the horizon.”

Cinemática – DEATH AND VANILLA: Dioz delirium (Single, 2017; from The Tenant, 2018)

#TheJangleBox #NovedadesTheJangleBox #DescubreTheJangleBox

Estos Retro-Technos suecos imaginan y nos ofrecen una recreación en vivo de la banda sonora de The Tenant, el film de Roman Polanski (1976). Intriga cinemática, aparatos de la época y sonido decididamente vintage.

“Originally scored by Philippe Sarde, this release sees Death And Vanilla reimagine the film’s soundtrack four decades on for a new audience. The haunting instrumental is a foreboding piece of dark and cinematic avant-garde music that’s alienated, lonely and melancholic. Moments of hallucination and delusion mirror the lead character Trelovsky.
Recorded in 2015 at Cinemascore festival in Spain alongside a two-hour performance and screening of psychological thriller ‘The Tenant’ (1976).  With the band at their most minimal, the accomplished musicians once again bring the dark narrative to life with their expansive and ethereal noir sound. The recording features them as a trio – Marleen Nilsson (Farfisa Compact), Anders Hansson (Hagstrom Kent, Roland SP-404 and Technics SL-1200) and Magnus Bodin (Moog Prodigy and Musser M55).
Directed by Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski and based on the novel Le Locataire by Roland Topor, ‘The Tenant’ is the finale in his acclaimed apartment triology which included “Repulsion” (1965) and “Rosemary’s Baby” (1968)” (Press)

Death & Vanilla: California owls (Fire Records, Single, 2015)

Un descubrimiento: los suecos Death & Vanilla son un trío especializado en una suerte de Dream-Pop realizado con instrumentos Vintage y desde luego, analógicos. Resultado: un sonido auténticamente espectacular, que suena a banda sonora de película de realismo mágico o al Dream-Pop más inspirado. Banda a seguir.

“Dreamy Swedish experimental pop duo Death & Vanilla return with their brand new album ‘Where the Wild Things Are’. Producing diverse and eclectic soundscapes full of hushed vocals and swirling electronics, the duo revel in the warmth of the older analogue instruments to create a simultaneous sense of nostalgia and escapism. Having already produced an album and a live score for the horror film ‘Vampyr’, 2015’s prospects look bright for Death & Vanilla” (Fire Records)
