Description
Two years have passed since GusGus' mysterious Kompakt debut '24/7'. That album marked a comeback for the trio, gaining high praise due to its strong concept and pure charm. Made with just two Doepfer modular systems and Daniel August's captivating vocals, it could be seen as an unofficial live album. If you caught their world - wide tour shows, you know the passion they brought. Now, President Bongo, Biggi Veira, and Daniel August reunited. They set up a studio in a lava - field cottage and created 'Arabian Horse', their seventh studio album. It showcases their versatility and songwriting at its best in their 15 + year career. Many well - known guest musicians and singers are on these ten new powerful songs. Former band member Ur 'Earth' Hákonardóttir returns on three songs. Hogni Elisson adds his voice to memorable moments. Samúel Jón Samúelsson does amazing string arrangements, and Davd Thor Jonsson plays accordion and banjo. Even an unnamed Gypsy combo leaves its mark. Compared to their previous Kompakt album, 'Arabian Horse' is more intense, full of big gestures, catchy hooks, and a blend of pop and soul. GusGus expertly balance commercial pop and underground dance music. For example, 'Deep Inside' combines big - room chords with a fierce bass line, and 'Within You' has beautiful vocals over an addictive techno bass kick. 'Arabian Horse' revisits their early influences, mixing '90s dance pop, classic house, and urban soul, but with a modern sound and top - notch production. It's Icelandic Hi - Tech Soul.
