Who Made Who Brighter description details  

2020 release!

Although WhoMadeWho lacks the question mark in the band name, the music alone gives enough reason to ask questions. The Copenhagen trio is hard to pin down: the band, which took its name from a 1986 album by AC/DC, has always been looking for musical adventure and usually finds it between the chairs. Jeppe Kjellberg, Tomas Hoffding and Tomas Barfod effortlessly fuse old Aunt Pop with traditional topoi of disco and punk, targeting the sofa potato and dance floor expressionists alike. Both artistically and commercially successful, the three Danes can look back on an already classic oeuvre, the highlight of which is the mini-LP “Knee Deep” on Kompakt.

Without a doubt one of the most appreciated live acts in Europe, Whomadewho has already played alongside icons such as LCD Soundsystem, Daft Punk or Azari & III. They became a fixture of summer festivals when they spontaneously headlined the Benicassim Festival in 2007, and their 2011 performance at the legendary Roskilde Festival cemented their status as an exceptional figure, with songs even being covered by the Queens Of The Stone Age. WhoMadewho really went above and beyond in their mission to avoid convention.

On their new album, Brighter, they effortlessly fuse pop and disco memes with punk paraphernalia. The record feels like the missing link between the radical playfulness of the predecessor "The Plot" and the introspective, personal focus of "Knee Deep": The stirring "The Sun" is already emerging as an absolute audience favorite and will probably become one anthem that will accompany old and new fans alike through the coming summer. The last piece of the album “Below The Cherry Moon”, on the other hand, appears more cautiously and, with its exquisite songwriting, forms the ideal counterbalance to the killer instinct of the stage pigs, who are whomadewho despite Allen the depth.

Other songs on the new album, such as the pre-single “Inside World”, the brute head-nod “Never Had The Time” or the existentialist “Running Man” also have this sense of balance in common: Jeppe Kjellberg's characteristic, always hitting the nerve of pop Vocals and Tomas Høffding's soft falsetto give the album both substance and accessibility... The technical precision and musical openness that have always characterized WhoMadeWho's vision can be immediately discerned. And yet the band members keep finding the black spot on their own map, unknown territory that needs to be bravely conquered. “Brighter” is simply the trio's next big hit, which, on principle, only takes hearts by storm.

This is the re-release of “Brighter”, first released on Compact in 2012 as 2xLP+DL.

NOTE: THE RE-RELEASE COMES IN A NEW MODIFIED COVER DESIGN - WITHOUT PUNCH-OUT AND WITHOUT PRINTED INNERSLEEVES, WHICH WERE PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE IN THE ORIGINAL.
