New album by Yonderboi: Passive Control
After his previous succesful albums Shallow and Profound and Splendid Isolation, Hungarian producer Yonderboi has finally finished his third album. The highly anticipated final part of his trilogy called Passive Control is coming out on 23rd September at Mole Listening Pearls.
During the past decade Yonderboi has grown from a teenager into a 31 year old man constantly experimenting and looking for challenges. That’s why on the new album he tried to do more and more by himself, from songwriting to recording and making the album cover. The “DIY dandy” explained his approach, interviewing himself to Hungarian fashion magazine The Room: “Lots of todays music or film projects are rather similar to a production line, which delivers products that are perfect in every detail, but still give a muddled and impersonal impression in total. It is not the goal to create a product that is perfect in every particle, but to create a final result that is as personal as possible.”
The upcoming album was inspired by Yonderboi’s big loves: sci-fi and fantasy visuals, mostly works by the legendary French comics artist Jean Gireaud Moebius, and films like Kin-Dza-Dza and the Hungarian cult-film Meteo. The title Passive Control is another oxymoron after his earlier releases and refers to the period while he was working on the new material. At that time the social network boom had its impression also on Yonderboi giving him ideas for more experiments. However he is not really interested any of the networking sites, even though he found his female voice, the Cologne-based 24 years old Charlotte Brandi via Myspace. Her voice is the key of Passive Control to bring balance to the album trilogy.
