Saturday Theme Twenty Four

Today's theme song came out at the tail end of 2020 from French musician Arno Vancolen on an album called 6 Fragments. Arno has an impeccable background, firstly in his electronic rock outfit Steeple remove, secondly in various guises appearing with or supporting Michael Rother, Wire and Faust and thirdly recording with Laurent Garnier. 

Across the nine songs on 6 Fragments Arno pulls it all together- loose grooves, motorik rhythms, noisy shoegaze/ indie, minimalism, ambient, cosmische and post- punk electronics. With its twinkling synths, loops, repetition, linear driving drums and sense of freedom Theme 4 sounds like a close cousin of Neu!'s dreamier, motorik moments such as Hallogallo or Fur Immer. The album can be bought here
