Kommode has revealed an atmospheric new video for 'Captain Of Your Sinking Ship',

the second single off his imminent debut album 'Analog Dance Music'.

Kommode is the solo project of Eirik Glambek Bøe from Kings of Convenience. 

​

'Captain of Your Sinking Ship' continues to showcase Kommode's quintessential Nordic pop that meshes Balearic influences with unassuming '80s disco. Glambek Bøe's quiet, soft vocals compliment the laidback lounge sound, resulting in a captivatingly rich and sumptuous listen.

The brand new video resonates with the evocative humbleness of the track with rainy Bergen functioning as as a backdrop for Kommode's intimate live performance. 

​

The aforementioned debut 'Analog Dance Music' will be released soon on the 18th August through Brilliance Records. Eirik's mission on this record is to achieve a return to making music you can dance to in the truest sense, music that's made in the studio by skilled yet fallible musicians and recorded on analog equipment. This is Nordic pop at it's finest, think of Jens Lekmanon tropical, exotic form or Phoenix in their most groovy, reflective disco moments.

 His new project has a much different ambition – to produce a sound that is rich and full. Kommode succeeds in creating music that would be the ideal soundtrack to a midsummer’s party, surrounded by friends, kissed by the sun, wine in hand, overlooking the ocean in the south of France..

​

"Analog Dance Music is music that arises when you can’t help but notice that you live in amazing times and that the opportunities laid out before you are greater than those enjoyed by any previous generation.

This calls for a certain celebratory quality which could easily be mistaken for complacency. Oh yes, the good in the world is seriously under pressure, but when there are too many things in your own life that lift your spirit, the sounds that come out when you start singing and playing will have a certain smoothness.

Is about played instruments, so that every time a pattern is repeated, everything is slightly different. An electronic signal is a mathematical representation of a sound, allowing the exact same note to be repeated several times during a song. An analog signal is, well, analog to what it signalises, and whether it’s a drum beat or guitar riff, every element of a song is a performance. Analog Dance Music is about musicians and a lot of studio hours to get a good take." Eirik Glambek Bøe.
