Mountain Range - From You I Have Been Absent In The Spring

  • Share
  • Mountain Range is the new solo alias of Gothenburg's Christoffer Berg, who is best known for his production work on The Knife's Deep Cuts and Silent Shout, and, more recently, Depeche Mode's Delta Machine. The two tracks here show different elements of Berg's palette, but both have the hallmarks of a skilled studio operator. On "From You I Have Been Absent In The Spring," he shoots muted, pulsing percussion through with flurries of ritualistic handclaps and shimmering, ghostly tones. It's a simple but mesmeric concoction that calls to mind a lonely snowbound journey. "Untouchable" sets off at a faster percussive lick and builds subtly with a mildly ominous bassline, punching drums and some Knife-ish chiming synths. Like the A-Side, it's chock-full of atmosphere.
