Flatland

About

Written between 2012 and 2014, Objekt's debut album "Flatland" follows up a succession of dynamic single releases from his base in Berlin, including the recent split 12” with Dopplereffekt on Leisure System, "Cactus / Porcupine" on Hessle Audio and three 12” singles on his eponymous white label serie. His recorded work so far has toyed with techno and electro conventions and has turned dancefloor tropes on their head, tickling the boundaries of what can or can’t constitute an effective club record. Approaching the album format on its own term, Objekt makes full use of the larger canvas to explore a framework of competing truth, multiple perspectives and conflicting account. "Flatland" imagines a world in which any scene can be seen from every angle at once. Semblances and cross-references entwine the eleven original tracks and Objekt’s existing recording, shaping a powerful and absorbing album that weaves between the alien and the hauntingly familiar. This is an effervescent body of work, its sound design evoking vivid imagery and conveying the same unmistakeable sense of detail and movement for which Objekt has become known. On his first attempt, Objekt has constructed a mature and multilayered album with its own story to tell, from whichever angle you choose to approach it. .
