It makes sense that two artists develop a sense of chemistry after traveling and playing shows together for an extended period of time, yet such an arrangement rarely results in the type of collaboration debuted by Trentemøller and his recent tourmate Dísa today with their joint single “Into the Silence.” In stark contrast to that title, the track opens with the familiar sounds of Trentemøller’s slightly glitchy electronic soundscape matched by Dísa’s dream-pop vocals before the song gradually gets swallowed up by various distortive guitar and synth effects.
“During our recent tour, Dísa and I spoke about doing a song together,” Trentemøller shares. “It felt quite obvious as we really developed a common language when we played so many concerts together already. After finishing our first leg of the tour, I immediately went to the studio and wrote the music for this song. It really came to me easily, as I felt quite inspired. Disa then wrote this beautiful and bittersweet text that complements the music so well, I think. And her unique voice just melts into the music in a very natural way.”
Fortunately for those of us in North America, Trentemøller will be heading back out on tour with Dísa joining his live-show lineup—hear the track below, and catch his upcoming dates kicking off later this month here.
