Bleep

Dial mainstay Christian Naujoks sets up his third LP for the label, and as anticipated it’s stunning. For Wave, he worked with the in-demand German production engineer Tobias Levin, who has also done studio time with artists like Kreidler, Faust and Felix Kubin, as well as Pantha Du Prince & The Bell Laboratory. If one thinks Hamburg and Dial, one thinks Jon Roberts glassy productions, throbbing Efdemin techno, chiming peak time Flugel… Wave is not that. Naujoks plays solo guitar; imagine Fennesz and Robert Wyatt, Vini Reilly’s incredible Factory Records band Durutti column and you are there. Beautiful.
