FORK SERIES and new label NOSORDO come together with this debut release from Swedish duo GROS and the thrilling new album, WAVES. This work, made up of 10 original pieces of fragile electronica has certain retro touches (largely thanks to analogue instruments and appropriately-chosen sounds) and features an impressive collection of personal touches. The music GROS makes is both modern - with their state of the art seventies instruments (computers, samples, loops) and synthesizers and classic, with a large sound-bank, because the tunes here feature noises and melodies that weve been enjoying throughout the history of electronic music."Alfombra Voladora" and "City Weekend" get to grips with a certain Kraftwerk structure, which, for the listener, is a remarkably pleasant one. The GROS seal is not one of grandiloquence, but rather of understatement, orbiting between the classic and the actual, between Kraftwerk and Autechre, between Brian Eno and Orbital.REVIEWS:If the most important thing for an album to do is to transmit something new, something personal, I can assure you that WAVES does just that. GROS invite you to relax, appreciate the details, feel the rhythms, travel to far off places and feel at home with your thoughtsI think thats more than enough."- Alfonso Mendez (www.satelitepop.com) Read less
