Synopsis

Album Description
Skyphone belong to a new generation of Danish musicians that also include bands like Under Byen and Efterklang. Musically it´s possible to place them somewhere between Efterklang, Sigur Ros and Swedish group Tape. In the Rune Grammofon catalogue Skyphone is probably closest in spirit and musical ideology to Svalastog and the more melodic sides of Alog. "Avellaneda" is their second album release.

Headphone Commute Review
Headphone Commute | 04/01/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"A Copenhagen based group of friends, Keld Dam Schmidt, Thomas Holst and Mads Bødker, make up an electronic trio known as Skyphone. Avellaneda is their second release on Rune Grammofon, mostly a Norwegian roster label. Skyphone, on the other hand, is a the forefront of Danish electronic music scene, with similar groups like Efterklang and Under Byen. Skyphone tends to stay clear of post-rock, and instead uses acoustic instruments with electronic treatments to create a home listening genre perfect for the headphones. As the album progresses, it recedes into a lullaby of electro-acoustic, experimental and ambient sound, that isn't shy of revealing performer's breathing to grasp the listener closer to home. Listening to Avellaneda, I feel like I'm eavesdropping in a back room of a secret factory, where unimaginable instruments metamorphose from electronic into metallic, and vice versa in the hands of skillful sound-smiths. Avellaneda is a solid sophomore follow up to Skyphone's first release, Fabula, that captured my attention back in 2004. Be sure to also check out Skyphone's remix of Port-Royal's Spetsnaz on Flared Up remix project out on Resonant in May 2008. I place Skyphone alongside Fennez, Julien Neto, Boards of Canada, Dictaphone, and Xela."
