7 Antenne #3 Helmet Room Records | 2008 | Album Biography Comments (0) Read Full Page Digg Review Add del.icio.us   The most apt description for Antenne’s album third album, #3 would capture its overt sense of sadness – maybe something like, eloquent sadness to capture the quilt of lovely, morose textures that will fondly remind listeners of Portishead. It will perhaps rekindle the fire for the once genre of the day, “trip-hop.” A solo project for Copenhagen’s Kim G. Hansen (of the bluntly titled industrial band, Institute for the Criminally Insane) the eight sweeping, often longer timed tracks are unique sonic discoveries. A mysterious duo (Hansen working with Marie-Louise Munck) with very little written about them to mine for material, they list their influences as the seemingly disparate aesthetic forces of Charles Bukowski, Ingmar Bergman and Georg Trackl. The songs on #3 are fantastic, a meshwork of trip-hop and female vocals, something that has worked astoundingly well in the recent future. Featuring strong, melodic song craft from beginning to end with offerings like “Long to Kiss” and “Gloves On” the opening tracks the album is destined for an enduring appeal in spite of its relative obscurity. It never feels like a frail piece of work; by the end, a final complex, delight “All of Us” it is something that transcends the simple artist term “project”: it’s a force.
