After the release of the stunning ‘Pulsing’ EP last month, Tomas Barfod has announced a new album Love Me for release on 9 June via Secretly Canadian.

Back in the summer of 2012, Danish dance music polymath Tomas Barfod released his debut solo album, the sophisticated mesh of electronics that is Salton Sea. Lauded by the likes of Pitchfork, Dazed & Confused and Gorilla vs Bear, its success took Barfod slightly by surprise. Inspired by a move to LA and mainly written and recorded on the road, it was an album that was imbued with a sense of spontaneity and experimentation. Its success has paved the way for the forthcoming follow-up, Love Me, an album that continues this spirit of adventurousness but takes it to a whole new level. Utilising a supporting cast that includes a string and brass section, and the likes of Here We Go Magic’s Luke Temple and long-term collaborator Nina Kinert on vocal duties, it’s a multi-layered album that effortlessly pushes and pulls pop and electronic music into a myriad different shapes.

This is where his recent EP, ‘Pulsing’, and forthcoming second album Love Me come in. While the crystalline rush of Salton Sea was created mainly in fits and starts, the new album is more precise, more defined and ultimately crafted into more fully-formed pop songs. While still keeping his debut’s intimate delicacy and beautiful sense of fragility, this follow-up is also more audacious, as showcased on the sweeping strings of the lovely ‘Aftermath’.

This coalescing of the real and the analog is highlighted by the guest vocalists, who range from long-term collaborator Nina Kinert on the lovely electro-squelch of ‘Pulsing’ and the bouncing electropop of ‘Busy Baby’ and American singer-songwriter Luke Temple on the poignant ‘Bell House’. From the start, Barfod was acutely aware that in order for these songs to come to life they needed to have vocals, even if piecing it all together was like finishing a puzzle. “Often I’ll have a track that’s good but when the vocals are on it the songs grows so much,” he explains. “It’s always a big puzzle actually. I have to pick the right songs for each vocalist and they write to it.”

With so much going on, it would be easy to assume that Barfod’s solo career is just a sideline, or a hobby in-between remixing, producing for other acts or working with WhoMadeWho. One listen to the ‘Pulsing’ EP or Love Me, however, should make it very obvious that this is where his heart is. Love Me is a multi-layered, endlessly rewarding, organic-sounding electronic album utilising real heart and soul, flitting between enigmatic instrumentals like ‘’Mandalay’ and the bubbling drama of the keening, Night Beds-featuring ‘Want To Tell You’. “My career so far has been pretty random,” he laughs. “It all started with me saying ‘maybe I should put out a song’, then ‘maybe I should put out an EP’ and then the album… and that did well for me almost out of nowhere. I didn’t necessarily expect anything from it. With this album, however, I knew what I wanted to make; something that people would love and that would stand the test of time.” Mission accomplished.
