CHMMR Auto CD

opakowanie: digipack

Having come up with an annual-ish drop of 12”s since 2010, Even Brenden AKA Chmmr set aside the
spring of 2016 to challenge himself to a new format: a full-length album. A true nostalgic, he uses
Compass Point-era and early Italo sounds for inspiration and attempts to simulate these styles. This
makes for a melodic, chuggy and graphic album that belongs a little more in the living room than on
the dance floor. With 10 tracks of dusty rhythms and the honest, naive and spacious themes that is
Brenden’s signature, it’s a record designed to signal that today’s technological future may not be as
different as yesterday’s. Features a nice-looking cover painting drawn by the late Harold Cohen’s
AARON program - automation at its finest.
Hidden behind his Chmmr moniker is Even Brenden, whose summery debut found its way into the
world via Norwegian psych-disco label Luna Flicks in 2010. The record became somewhat of a soughtafter
item and after making pit stops at Relish, Dødpop and Untz Untz Records, he landed on Prins
Thomas’ Full Pupp in 2014 and have stayed put ever since, all the while enjoying a steady habit of
record jocking and the occasional keyboard duty in Telephones’ now-defunct live band. Even resides
in Oslo makes odd waves without vowels.
