Description
Always You return with a bold new chapter in their already varied and eclectic career. Los Angeles-based twin brothers Christoph and Anton Hochheim have always forged their own path while working alongside their hive mind of musician comrades (playing with Beach Fossils, Wild Nothing, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, MGMT, Jerry Paper, The Depreciation Guild, etc) all of which helped shape their sonic identity along the way. With Against The World, the brothers further venture into the worlds of lo-fi hypnagogic laptop-pop, sophisticated synth-pop steeped in 80s UK and Japanese new-wave, as well as kitsch-en sink lounge ballads inspired by the great chansons of yesteryear. With their debut release on Hit The North Records, the twins make a dramatic departure from the romantic balladeering of their previous release, Bloom Off The Rose into much more visceral territory. With Jack Tatum (Wild Nothing) at the helm, guiding the production and mixing, he tirelessly broke down and reconstructed all the elements with the twins, pushing the sonics to the absolute breaking point. Against The World is a statement for and against the times; a manic manifesto drawing a line in the sand where love is the only resistance against the forces manufacturing distance and dissent between us. It's a rallying cry pushing for something better, a staunch refusal of the status quo fueled by a strong belief that we all deserve better.
