Earlier this year, Danish electronic pioneers Laid Back released ‘Uptimistic Music Vol 1.’, their first studio album since 2004. The duo’srnrnlong-awaited comeback was followed by critical acclaim and a series of live performances. While playing festivals in Ibiza, Georgia,rnrnDenmark and the Faroe Islands last summer, John Guldberg and Tim Stahl took the time to put the finishing touches on their upcomingrnrnrelease: ‘Uptimistic Music,’ a double album featuring Vol.1 and a second record of unreleased material.‘Brother’, the first single out of thernrndouble album, was released on Monday 23 September. “The track originates from the mid-eighties and it talks about the brotherly feelingrnrnin us,“ explained Stahl. “Its lyrics are even more relevant today: ‘Brother, time is running out.’ We are well-aware of the fact that we arernrnsome old music industry geezers," said Guldberg jokingly. “Uptimistic Music is a combination of some old songs we had lying around – thatrnrnare still alive and kicking! - and new songs we composed since our last album ‘Happy Dreamer.’ Anything less than a double album wouldn’trnrnhave been enough! The positive and timeless message that pervades our music is deeply-rooted in the way we think and express ourselves.rnrnA song should be judged on its longevity rather than its novelty,” agreed the two musicians, who have been friends for over 40 years.rn‘Uptimistic Music’ will be released digitally on 14 October and physically in early November.rnA few days after the album release, the band will embark on an extensive Danish tour that will kick off in Viborg and will include datesrnrnin Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, Vejle and Randers.
