*2023 stock. 50 copies limited edition* After his oneiric, Casio-centric 'Nullpluss' that Kristian Tangvik released two years ago, the time has come for his next move. In Kristian's own words: "The Cod and the Cat has developed over the course of two years. It came to me in a dream. Some compositions arrived while traveling, others in a complete standstill. And so I have gathered a fresh combination of exceptional performers from the rich and exciting underground of Copenhagen's music scene, and it is because of their creativity and massive musicianship that this dream of mine could be realized in its precious form.
Fusing cute naivety with strange complexity, yet staying true and honest to my own aesthetics, I have made an album to confuse, inspire, and comfort the listener. Touching upon grave topics as depression, addiction, and general malaise, there had to be a strong and playful side to the album, a Cat to the Cod so to speak. This is genre-fluid music with a lot of space for improvisation. Contrasting expressions – surprising turns and twists – like a semi-lucid dream – where you wake up in the middle of the night to take a bewildered piss. This album is the truest expression of my search as of yet. I hope (and think) you will find something of value if you lend it an ear."
