Irish producer and DJ
Mano Le Tough
releases his new record,
At The Moment
, on
DJ Koze
's Pampa Records. After more than a decade of releases and touring, Mano has spent the past year at home in Zurich, rearing his young family and focusing on the positives of 14 months without performing, amid the uncertainty of the pandemic. In the face of horror, Mano channeled inspiration. With
At The Moment
, the follow-up to 2015's
Trails
(PERMVAC 142CD/LP), those struggles have produced a record which balances the ambivalence of the current moment, with wistful streaks of unguarded optimism.
At The Moment
shows Mano's modes of expression evolving too. The synths and rhythms common to earlier works are now complemented with less familiar sounds and influences. Jangling guitars and sun-bleached chords envelop his own tender, plaintive vocals in a dappled wash of summery pop. Another track grounds overlapping melodies and sci-fi soundtrack pads with hip hop beats, creating a hypnotic slice of slinky retrofuturism. Where there is reflection, there is also a sense of being unafraid.
"I've always liked that
Mallarmé
quote, 'poetry is the language of crisis,'" says Mano. "It's hard to make good music about everything being amazing. Everything is going great -- who wants to listen to that? Anything I've done -- anything which I thought had any kind of artistic merit, has been through struggles I've had in my life."
