It seems fitting that the cover of Kettenkarussell’s long-promised debut album – talked about since their impressive 2009 debut single I Believe You -features a picture of a rollercoaster. While “Easy Listening” doesn’t replicate the white-knuckle thrills of riding a rollercoaster, its’ picturesque blends of piano-laden ambience, hazy downtempo grooves, thick-set deep house and deeper, tech-tinged material is in turns undulating and – in the case of “Chords of Banana” and the Reichian brilliance of “Spirale” – strangely queasy. It all adds up to a quietly impressive debut album, rich with interesting ideas and curious instrumentation, that should enhance the duo’s rising reputation.
