Here is a description from the latest Traum newsletter:
The Canadian Jesse Somfay, a all dressed in black musician with shoulder
long blond hair and razor sharp dialogues, cuts though with a twisted, big
time sound "This fragile addiction" and it´s silent companion on the
flipside "For one brief moment, I was there."
His second Traum release "We breathe the stars through each other" is a
great momentum of a throbbing, energetic flow of energy...emerging in a
modern version of Velvet Undergrounds "While Light White Heat." Jesses
tracks are digital feedback club music, relentless and without fear,
endless, limited to nothing but its sounds and resources... a cosmic
avalanche... a wall of sound...a signal of life ...communication !
"This Fragile Addiction" is an epic, drugged out, mental journey into a
world full of nothing but warm, enveloping and shimmering sunlight
reminiscent of shoegaze bands like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Lush
and also space rock bands such as Sigur Ros and Explosions in the Sky.
"For One Brief Moment, I Was There" is a melancholy cloud of crisp and
chilling melodies with shattered and stuttering percussion. Jesse brings
together his favorite spacey indie rock sounds with the drive of electronic
dance music to bring a completely unique and ecstatic experience to the
dance floor. His only goal is to make quality emotionally thrilling music
which is completely genre defying.
"We breathe the stars through each other" has a lot in common with James
Holden and friends working on sounds, overtaking the whole track killing
minimal music for a second. But his tracks also reveal some of the past of
minimal music and how it used to be with techno!
And from Decks, here is the artwork:
