In 2019,
Croatian Amor
returns with a new album,
Isa
. Copenhagen's
Loke Rahbek
works in a wide variety of forms. His prolific rate of activity is best viewed through his and
Christian Stadgaard
's Posh Isolation label. Of Rahbek's many projects, his most eloquent and gentle is Croatian Amor. 2017's single "Finding People" bloomed from Croatian Amor's previous album, the widely acclaimed
Love Means Taking Action
(ALT 028CD/PI 180LP). These melancholic transmissions presented a kind of alien pop. For
Isa
, he has drawn on an impressive list of guests to realize a nauseating narrative of virtual communication and eschatological programming. The album's title invokes a messianic entity, and though it's hard to tell what's imagined or remembered anymore, the play that Croatian Amor is known for feels far more vivid today. "
Enhance photo to reveal a picture of Bird caught mid-flight; enhance again, the bird has a human face screaming.
" Never pessimistic, Croatian Amor circles themes of tragedy and comfort to animate a sense of hope. His accomplices pluck details from his graphic scenes like a searchlight drifting over a starlit surface.
Alto Aria
,
Soho Rezanejad
, and
Jonnine Standish
of
HTRK
, each contribute vocals across the album, cloaked and kerned on Croatian Amor's inimitable stage. "Eden 1.1" and its accompaniment "Eden 1.2" feature the voices of
Frederikke Hoffmeier
(
Puce Mary
) and
Yves Tumor
, respectively. These are some of album's most delicate pieces, and where one may find respite from the helix of damaged rhythms that eddy across
Isa
. Familiar faces from Copenhagen are solicited throughout, and perhaps the album's most endearing quality is the space for volatility that all of the collaboration has invited. All the signals and timelines lead everywhere and back. Maybe it's only the myths that get us? The cover of Isa features work by artist
Amitai Romm
. "
Tracing reflections that float in the pool: the water is lost in all images. Two skies hold glass billboards.
