The Dialogue Series

Description

Named Icelands most exciting young band by Pitchfork after the release of their celebrated sophomore LP Sports last year, enigmatic trio Fufanu have announced the release of a series of EPs throughout 2018 each one an exercise in exploring their multiple sonic personalities, from motorik and post-punk to alt-techno, to woozy avant-garde electronica. Once the band returned to Iceland after a long stint touring, they had a bag of demoes written at different junctures on the road, purposefully created with no regard for a unified sound. They were eager to release the tracks into the world as and when they were written, looking to capture the sense of urgency with which the songs were formed. They asked MC, DJ and producer Alap Momin to listen to the demoes and before they knew it, he was on a flight from Harlem to Iceland to work with the band. The result of his input only served to highlight their desire for a distinctive exploration of genres between each record. Kaktus laughs: Three Icelandic techno-rockers brought the Harlem club scene to their studio in Iceland it was a life changing week. The trio dont care for being placed neatly into a box, which has never been more evident in their career to date as it is throughout each of these three EPs. Lead singer Kaktus Einarsson comments: What is great about the creative workflow of Fufanu is that weve never just stopped. Weve never hit a sound that were going to stick with, it has always been about discovering what it is we want to make during each moment, and to just keep on exploring. Theres this crazy need for people to always categorize everything. Life isnt just on or off, good or bad its everything in the middle.
