Terrence Falconer I love electric guitars but I never quite loved dancing. This album introduced me to dancing to what I love most - electric guitars. Thank you :) Favorite track: Perpetuum Mobile.

darladoon They don’t have any bad songs, great band. This particular album is a low key modern pop classic. We’ll all be enjoying this beautiful music for a very long time I hope.

about

Death and Vanilla return with ‘Flicker’, presenting their unique pop music that defies categorisation. Housed in a beautifully austere post-ironic de-constructed sleeve; ‘Flicker’ is a modern reflection on these difficult times. World crises notwithstanding, they return reborn, re-arranged and revitalised after assimilating dub reggae, the motorik spirals of Can, the modal meander of Philip Glass and The Cure’s dreamier pop sounds; plus the twice removed symphonic ambience of Spiritualized and Talking Heads under heavy manners from Brian Eno. By osmosis their period of transition since 2019’s much darker ‘Are You A Dreamer?’ has hatched new eclectic electronica anthems riddled with melody lines, and layered for lush love.

Forming in Malmö, Sweden, Death And Vanilla gravitated towards vintage musical equipment; from vibraphone, organ and mellotron, to tremolo guitar and Moog synthesisers. Soaking up soundtracks from the 60s and 70s, listening to library music, kosmiche, French Ye-ye pop and 60s psych, Marleen Nilsson, Anders Hansson and Magnus Bodin were fashioned by the city’s austere industrial past and flat pack present, and all in the shadow of the Orsesund Bridge that links their dreamworld to mainland Europe and a darker reality.

“Deploying vintage instruments in their quest for melancholic utopia.” Electronic Sound

Death And Vanilla at once sound like everything is possible; but nothing else at all. There is a flicker of hope for everyone.

Whether their muse lies in 60s sci fi soundtracks, The Radiophonic Workshop, the electronic sounds prototype of The United States Of America, the retro-futuristic edge of Broadcast, the dream pop ambience of Angelo Badalamenti/Julie Cruise, or the shroud of Mazzy Star, will doubtless be raised in countless interviews. ... more
