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 Sisters Of Mercy Greatest Hits Volume One: A Slight Case Of Overbombing Rock And Pop | Rhino | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 11th June 2018 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sisters Of Mercy Greatest Hits Volume One: A Slight Case Of Overbombing £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0190295695071 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 11th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lickerish Quartet, The Threesome Vol.2 Rock And Pop | Lojinx | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 11th June 2021 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lickerish Quartet, The Threesome Vol.2 £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Lojinx SKU: LJX124V12 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 11th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View B-52s, The Live In London 2013 Rock And Pop | Let Them Eat Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 26th September 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders B-52s, The Live In London 2013 £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Let Them Eat Vinyl SKU: LETV380LP Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 26th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Marsicans Ursa Major Rock And Pop | Killing Moon | 1LP Released 14th August 2020 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Marsicans Ursa Major £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Killing Moon SKU: KMRM2009 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th August 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View James Blunt Who We Used To Be Rock And Pop | Atlantic | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th October 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders James Blunt Who We Used To Be £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Atlantic SKU: 5054197707513 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Future Utopia 12 Questions Rock And Pop | Platoon | 1LP Released 23rd October 2020 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Future Utopia 12 Questions £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Platoon SKU: UTPIA12-LP-STD Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Roger Waters Us + Them Rock And Pop | Columbia | 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 2nd October 2020 £43.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roger Waters Us + Them £43.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Columbia SKU: 19439707691 Formats: 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 2nd October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bloc Party Silent Alarm Live Rock And Pop | Bloc Party | 1LP Released 12th July 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bloc Party Silent Alarm Live £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bloc Party SKU: BPSALLP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Billy Idol Rebel Yell Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 3rd November 2017 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Billy Idol Rebel Yell £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 5736341 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Steve Miller Band Italian X Rays Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP Released 12th July 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steve Miller Band Italian X Rays £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 7729920 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 12th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
