A dance agnostic in his early 20s, he played Hammond organ in a Deep Purple tribute band, and slid into producing disco seemingly by accident. The last five or so years, mind, have seen him write an impressive resume, turning out a string of fine space-disco releases on his own Feedelity imprint before making his name internationally with Where You Go I Go Too – a masterpiece of warm, progressive space disco that posited this Norwegian producer as an heir to cosmic-minded 70s producers such as Giorgio Moroder and Daniele Baldelli. On Real Life Is No Cool, Lindstrøm reconnects with an earlier collaborator, one Christabelle Silje Isabelle Birgitta Sandoo, who made her Feedelity debut back in 2004 with the wonderful Music In My Mind 12”. It’s tempting to call Christabelle the Donna Summer to Lindstrøm’s Moroder, but their relationship appears much more chaotic than that. Recording her vocals independently, making up lyrics on the spot and submitting them to Lindstrøm for tweaking and re-editing, their collaboration feels a subversion of the traditional producer-vocalist relationship – in short, anything goes. So, the opening Looking For What commences with Christabelle’s voice singing a cappella, chopped up and layered until it’s incomprehensible. As the beat finally drops, she emerges from the fog, free-associating mischievously: “What shall we do… shall we start looking… looking for what?” Instead of disco’s grand climaxes and stage-managed highs, then, we have a woozier, constantly mutating tableau – one that clearly privileges jamming as a most adequate way of making music, and one that feels pleasingly organic next to the majority of most modern, digital dance music. Conventional highlights include a revived Music in My Mind and Baby Can’t Stop, a Jackson 5-tinged number with vibrant horns and itchy funk guitar. But there are impressive experimental excursions here, too: take Never Say Never, a whirl of backwards beats, twinkling harps and discombobulated vocals that’s both utterly disorientating and quite delightful. –Louis Pattison Artist Lindstrom and Christabelle Genre Rock And Pop Label Smalltown Supersound Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Looking For What Lovesick Let It Happen Keep It Up Music In My Mind Baby Can't Stop Let's Practise So Much Fun Never Say Never High & Low Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Dusk Glass Pastures Rock And Pop | Don Giovanni | 1LP Released 20th October 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dusk Glass Pastures £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Don Giovanni SKU: LPDG291 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Saint Raymond We Forgot We Were Dreaming Rock And Pop | Cooking Vinyl | 1LP Released 16th April 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Saint Raymond We Forgot We Were Dreaming £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: COOKLP741 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bobbie Gentry The Delta Sweete Rock And Pop | UMC/Virgin | 2LP Released 31st July 2020 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bobbie Gentry The Delta Sweete £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC/Virgin SKU: 5390477 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 31st July 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Syd Barrett Opel Rock And Pop | Rhino | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 25th June 2014 £25.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Syd Barrett Opel £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0825646310777 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th June 2014 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Warren Zevon A Quiet Normal Life: The Best Of Rock And Pop | Rhino Elektra | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th January 2023 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Warren Zevon A Quiet Normal Life: The Best Of £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino Elektra SKU: 0603497837687 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th January 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fields Of The Nephilim Elizium – Expanded Deluxe Edition Rock And Pop | Beggars Banquet | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th April 2024 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fields Of The Nephilim Elizium – Expanded Deluxe Edition £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Beggars Banquet SKU: BBQ2537LPX Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Elvis Presley Elvis At Stax Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 5th August 2013 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elvis Presley Elvis At Stax £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP872 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 5th August 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Roger O’Donnell 2 Ravens Rock And Pop | 99X/10 Records | 1LP Released 24th April 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roger O’Donnell 2 Ravens £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 99X/10 Records SKU: 99X/10-123LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th April 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Anyma Genesys Rock And Pop | Interscope | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 20th October 2023 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Anyma Genesys £35.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Interscope SKU: 5818935 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 20th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View East Village Drop Out – 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Rock And Pop | Heavenly | 1LP Released 12th January 2024 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders East Village Drop Out – 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Heavenly SKU: HVNLP3X Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th January 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
