Danish electronic mastermind Anders Trentemøller returns with Fixion, his fourth LP and first since 2013's guest-heavy outing, Lost. While the producer's work has always relied on an icy Scandinavian mystique, here Trentemøller scales back a little bit of the density of his last couple of releases in favor of a more minimalist, though often commanding sound.
Of the three guest vocalists he employs, two are familiar to the Trentemøller environment. Longtime collaborator Marie Fisker returns to lend her well-suited pipes to a handful of cuts, as does former Giana Factory singer Lisbet Fritze, another Dane with whom Trentemøller has recently worked. The third guest is Jehnny Beth, frontwoman of British post-punk outfit Savages
