Sparkling - Bring you 'Fractions' before new album 'Felonious' !!!

April 23rd 2019

Release

'Fractions' of a Danish duo!!!

Danish duo Sparkling are relishing returning to music after a long break with new single ‘Fractions’, from their new album ‘Felonious’ which is set to come out on 23rd April 2019. ‘Fractions’ as the title might suggest is mathy with an electronic basis. However, whilst others may hunt tightness and efficiency - Sparkling insist on exploring the human aspect of synthesizers and machines. Consequently, most of the parts are played by hand and re-amped in the studio to create maximum depth and to bridge naturally to both the vocal and the additional instrumentation.

‘Fractions’ is a song about embracing getting older and becoming more aware of your surroundings and inner life, the band really know how to bring out their emotions into their songs. The character in the track is looking back - in fractions he experiences and feels notes from his life. Above all, the track expresses the strong love that transforms someone from a dreamer flying restless in space to a man on earth.

Sparkling started out in 2002, formed by Carsten Mørch-Bentzen (Vocals) and Jens Christian Madsen (Synths). ’Fractions’ like ’Say goodbye to the ragged Tiger’ is from from their forthcoming album 'Felonious', which is coming out later in this years. On this track they have made new allies from the sparkling (pun intended) Copenhagen music scene. These include Oliver Hoiness (Skammens Vogn, Kira Skov) - Guitar, Peter Buch - Bass, Jesper Løvdal - Jazz Saxophonist, Anders Mathiasen (Murder, Vessel) - Guitar. Featured on ‘Fractions’, David Rosenkilde - Guitar, Steen Rasmussen - Piano and Benjamin Vinding - Berimbau.

While working on the album the last couple of years, Sparkling have teamed up with renowned film festival CPH:PIX who have used excerpts from the duo’s cinematic Pop music in the festival trailers which screened in movie theaters all over Copenhagen. Sparkling have toured intensively in Denmark including Spot and Skanderborg festivals, been artist of the week on www.HitQuarters.com and collaborated with producer/remixer Dave ‘Rave’ Ogilvie (David Bowie, Nine inch Nails, Skinny Puppy).
