DEBUT ALBUM FROM ELECTRONIC COWBOY

Retro-like guitar sounds, futuristic electronica and windy western landscapes mingles with surf guitar, robot voices and beautiful female voices on the debut album from Mohavi. Behind the name is a Danish music producer and guitarist, for the first time out with its own music, which is a unique and personal blend of past and future.

The album is mainly recorded in Copenhagen, but parts of the album have been recorded in London and Los Angeles. Mohavi plays the vast majority of the instruments on the 12 tracks, but has also been helped by Soren Balsner from Carpark North, which has been co-producer on a few tracks. Also contributing is the talented Anne Christine Wold, new Danish singer / songwriter, who is based in London and already has excited many people with her unique singing voice and crystal clear songs. Anne Christine Wold is involved in three of the tracks, which are written in a beautiful collaboration between the techno-cowboy and the female singer. In addition, Mohavi got help from producers, including DJ Henrik Hjarnø (aka Jox) and beats from drummer Adam Grønne.

The forerunner of the album was the track “Give Me The Gun”, which have long circulated on the social media with a video, recorded in Los Angeles. Now, the first official single and video “Death in the Afternoon” is released. The video is again recorded in the United States, this time in Joshua Tree National Park in California.

The music of Mohavi unfolds in a cross between Americana, Kitsch and Electronica and is clearly heard inspired by both David Lynch as Morricones movie music, classic Kraftwerk, techno and modern club music, which include due Mohavis unique application of an original vocoder, a Roland VP-300 from 1979.

ELEKTRONISK COWBOY
DEBUTERER MED SOLOALBUM

Retroagtige guitarklange, futuristisk electronica og vindblæste westernlandskaber blander sig med surfguitar, robotstemmer og smukke kvindestemmer på debutalbummet fra Mohavi.
Bag navnet gemmer sig en dansk musikproducer og guitarist, der for første gang er ude med sin egen musik, der er en unik og personlig blanding af fortid og fremtid.

Albummet er hovedsagelig indspillet i København, men dele af albummet er blevet til i London og Los Angeles. Mohavi spiller selv størstedelen af instrumenterne på de 12 tracks, men har også fået hjælp af Søren Balsner fra Carpark North, der har været co-producer på et par numre. Desuden medvirker stortalentet Anne Christine Wold, ny dansk singer/songwriter, der med base i London allerede har begejstret mange med sin unikke sangstemme og krystalskrøbelige sange. Anne Christine Wold medvirker på tre af numrene, der er skrevet i et smukt samarbejde mellem techno-cowboyen og storbysangerinden. Herudover har Mohavi fået producerhjælp fra bl.a. DJ Henrik Hjarnø (aka Jox) og beats fra trommeslageren Adam Grønne.

Forløberen for albummet var tracket ”Give Me The Gun”, der allerede længe har cirkuleret på de sociale medier med en video, indspillet i Los Angeles. Nu er den første officielle single og video ”Death in the Afternoon” udkommet. Videoen er igen indspillet i USA, denne gang i Joshua Tree National Park i Californien.

Mohavis musik udspiller sig i et krydsfelt mellem americana, kitch og electronica og der høres tydelig inspiration fra såvel David Lynch som Morricones filmusik, klassisk Kraftwerk-techno og moderne klubmusik, hvilket bl.a. skyldes Mohavis unikke anvendelse af en original vocoder, en Roland VP-300 fra 1979.
Den energiske musiker har med albummet skabt sin helt egen boldgade og stilen er blevet kaldt ”cowboy-techno” af inderkredsen. Lyden er retro, skæv og skramlet. Det er overvejende dansabel musik i en unik blanding. Albummet indeholder også et par mere stille numre og her imponerer Anne Christine Wold med sin følsomme stemme, der på overbevisende vis glider ind i de guitaristiske technolandskaber.
Mohavi har været i det danske musikliv i mange år, men debuterer først nu som soloartist under det nye navn. Både som producer og artist har han sat sit stærke præg på hele processen. Udover at spille stort set alle instrumenter, har Mohavi har selv instrueret og klippet musikvideoerne og lavet artwork, grafik og visuelt design til hjemmeside og covers.

When I first met Anne Christine Wold, I did’nt know what a beautiful singing voice she had. She’s a sweet and nice person, but humble, so it takes a bit time before you understand how extraordinary gifted as a singer and songwriter she is.
So when I realized what a talent she was, I dared to ask her contribute to my album; since I had the idea that I would’nt sing the more easy, lo-key nice tunes I was working on myself.
I sent her some music backing tracks and ideas for lyrics, and she wrote beautiful melodies and lyrics on top of that. And I almost did’nt change a single word or note….

Thanks, AC
