Excerpt: “We really dug Jumpel’s last album, Deuxième Bureau, so we’re naturally very excited that the German minimalist will be gracing our ears again, through the excellent Hidden Shoal Recordings. Jumpel’s third album, Europa, is out now.You can watch the mesmerisingly good film clip to the first single, “Edinburgh”, which features the vocals of Chloë March. Like the music itself, it’s arrestingly simple and brilliantly executed. Enjoy!”
Excerpt: “We got this pretty ill track from Germany’s Jumpel, who apparently is a pretty sick ambient minimalist music maker over there in Germania. Checked out some of the earlier stuff and dig it. Edinburgh is a perfect example off of his forthcoming album Europa with a great vocal contribution from Chloe March. All a different pace but good for some slower moments. Jumpel is a perfect example why I did the ambient movements. Get the track below and look out for his album later this month.”
Excerpt: “Edinburgh is taken from the forthcoming Jumpel album Europa (out November 25th). Inspired by Jo Dürbeck’s travels around Europe, the album transforms Dürbeck’s personal memories of 11 different European locations into minimal ambient electronica. The album acts as a kind of abstracted sonic diary, painting the intangibility’s and romanticism of memory and travel using sparse yet resonant sound. A simple idea – and one that has produced Jumpel’s most restrained and unified effort to date…. an artist new to us and whom we hope to get to hear a lot more of.”
Excerpt: “This track is perfect for any weather, which if you’re in New York is still wet, warm and full of spring promise. The weather will likely turn on us really, really soon and everyone will have ice in their hair/beards. This track is too full of ambient bliss to against anyone. The track is from Jumpel’s forthcoming album Europa out on November 25th. “Inspired by Jo Dürbeck’s [the artist known as Jumpel] travels around Europe, the album transforms Dürbeck’s personal memories of 11 different European locations into minimal ambient electronica.”
