The forever exploring electronical entity of a band, Gusgus, has opened yet a new era in their unique sonic multiverse. With their 12th album, the course is set to a strange mysterious place called DanceOrama. A rave-mall in a nostalgic future, DanceOrama is the place to be, where you can experience infinite freedom, genre, and gender free. Moving from the pulsating new-wave influenced techno pop of the last album Mobile Home (2019), Gusgus emits the vibe of DanceOrama on their new album as an arousing, melody-rich hybrid of '80s/'90s parties and raves. The release is evenly split up in euphoric fusioned pop anthems and genre-free instrumental journeys. Whereas on Mobile Home, the concept was stationed in a rural environment of a dystopian side reality, Gusgus now moves to the city. In this city of strange discomforting future omens, DanceOrama stands out as the rave-mall of freedom. Leaving the new wave influences, this album is a strange hybrid of the '80s and '90s parties twisted into a genre-free blend of arousing experiences. The album consists of five instrumental tracks and four vocal pop songs, ranging from 105-158 bpm and exploring various influences from the '80s and '90s and even the '70s in a strange fusion of techno, trance, Italo-disco, house and pop that emits the rawness and innocence of previous decades. The pop songs are quite strictly set as stories related to the mysteries and rumors of DanceOrama. Featuring Earth and Högni.

2023 repress. World-renowned group GusGus have returned with their 11th studio album, the highly emotive Mobile Home, marking their first album release since 2018. The collective once again prove their commitment to pushing their artistic boundaries as they release one of their most ambitious and powerful albums in decades. For their latest record, GusGus call on VÖK's lead singer Margrét Rán to help expand their style, keeping the collective's sound as fresh as ever. The nine-track album features a concoction of electronic rock, ambient, darkwave, downtempo, and synthpop. After announcing a new album in October 2020, GusGus wowed fans with their first single "Higher," offering a first taste of how VÖK's impactful vocals mesh seamlessly with GusGus' intelligent and powerful electronic production. "Higher" was soon followed up with the darker, downtempo "Stay The Ride" and the bright and energetic synth work on "Our World." The three captivating singles each received equally remarkable music videos courtesy of founding members Arni and Kinski, the directing team known for working with the likes of Sigur Rós, Kiasmos, Ólafur Arnalds, Of Monsters and Men, and more. Every track on Mobile Home doubles as a window into a futuristic dystopian world that has been overtaken by machines. A nod to the rise of technology and ever-growing uncertainty surrounding automation, the album explores themes of solitude, rebellion, science fiction, hedonism, pleasure, and anger. Swirling within this world is a disconnected, aching soul who is on the verge of slipping into complete dementia. In Mobile Home, GusGus challenge themselves like never before, resulting in a wonderfully chaotic reflection of the ongoing war between soul and machine. GusGus show the quality and sonic diversity of the singles pervades throughout the full LP, while preserving the melodramatic themes that tie its nine tracks together. "Simple Tuesday" showcases the group's aptitude for blending contemporary electronic production with pop sensibilities while keeping an optimistic tonality at the forefront. Meanwhile, "Love Is Alone" and "Original Heartbreak" offer a slower, more pensive take on synthpop, and evoke feelings of solitude and deep melancholia. "Silence" and "The Rink" boast some of GusGus's more experimental production, each alternating between radio-ready vocal verses with inventive and exciting synth elements. GusGus closes Mobile Home with "Flush," an instrumental score that leaves the listener riding high as they finish the LP.
