Lars Vognstrup and Kristian Godtfredsen - collectively known as Wolfkin, met when they were both still heavily involved in other successful projects at the time (Lars, was with Junior Senior and in the band Money Your Love and Kristian, in his band Sleeping Agents), it wasn't long before they realized that they had a unique musical understanding of one another and a chemistry that compelled them to start collaborating on a more serious level. Before they knew it, an album was in the works. Brand New Pants was the result which is set for release on Crunchy Frog Records on April 1st and we are pushing the single These Are All Illusions here in the US and I can offer you the track as free download in support of any coverage you may decide upon.
These Are All Illusions could well be 2008's dance floor staple, easily on a par with Peter Bjorn & John's own infectious hit Young Folks. Other tracks on the album include the seductive Vacant Heart, playfully flirting with blips, bleeps, beats and abstract guitar riffs, enough to prick the ears of any dedicated Portishead fan.
In contrast, songs like Coyoacan ooze the sultry sounds of Mexico City, where Lars recorded part of the album with the legendary Mexican punk band Molotov. Consequently pulling from various cultural sources of inspiration, Brand New Pants is a truly refreshing and diverse debut album and one that will surely be a favorite of many critics in 2008.
Brand New Pants was written and recorded in both Copenhagen and Mexico City. Encapsulating the long and cold Nordic nights, reflected with the dark and devious electronic undertones and samples, then coupled with upbeat warmth of Mexico City, resulting in quirky and danceable pop sensibilities, making this album a truly refreshing debut and one worth covering here in the US.
