Wrestler - Entrepreneurs - Vinyl LP Record (Arrives in 50 days)

Wrestler’ hasn’t been plagued by Difficult Second Album Syndrome. On the contrary, the process has been characterized by a mature, carefree feeling with no thoughts about what others might think. Thematically, the album deals with the personal and the social. The former with everyday images, as on ‘Cinnamon Girl’ (a vignette of family life), heartache, addiction and maturity (as on focus track ‘Wrestler’). The latter inspired by our polarizing times, born from a recording stint in North Carolina, where open carrying had the band think of the absurdity of underscoring an opinion or a standpoint with violence, resulting in both ‘(What’s So Fucking Strange About) My Idea?’ And ‘What’s Up With Your Head?’.

The stylistic references are broad, and the instrumentation varied, but the band and producer Jens Ramon have tied everything together with stringent and off-kilter arrangements; the hierarchy of highs and lows shift throughout; bass rising to meet guitar; strings that take up the space left behind. The songs feel immediate and cohesive, but repeat listening reveals an inventive and raw attention to detail. 'Wrestler' is a mature creative statement from one of Denmark's wildest rock bands.
