In my early TMT days, I once described the music of Loke Rahbek (co-founder of Posh Isolation and co-Damien Dubrovnik producer alongside Christian Stadsgaard) as inescapably frigid. If Rahbek has spent the last years serving up the feeling of cold wind against your skin, then Stadsgaard’s newest — and first — solo EP as Vanity Productions is serving up the contrasting feeling of warmth under your scarf and wool gloves where you know you’re protected from the outside winter.
“Showtime Revision” is a track from the EP — which is titled Only the Stars Come Out At Night — and it’s streaming below with a duly sentimental video from Anastasia Karkazis. The track conjures up moments of heartbreaking nostalgia and soul-crushing empathy in a way similar to the films of American existentialist Don Hertzfeldt, with flickering sonic waterfalls that swell and decay all at once. The EP goes so far as to be self-described as “intently brooding” and “cosmic heartbreak,” which will make nothing but sens when you stream the video premiering below.
Only the Stars Come Out At Night can be purchased from the Vanity Productions Bandcamp and arrives weeks before Posh Isolation’s ten-year anniversary celebration in Copenhagen. But before you get to any of that, drown it it all — right here, right now:
