Stockholm-based producer Axel Boman, best known for his solid house jams for DFA, Hypercolour, Permanent Vacation and DJ Koze’s Pampa Records, is gearing up for the release of his debut LP, “Family Vacation”, on November 11th via Studio Barnhus, the label he runs together with Kornél Kovács and Petter Nordkvist. Today, we’re treated to that record’s first single “Fantastic Piano”, and it’s truly a beauty.
Speaking on his forthcoming album, Boman says, “I decided to go through the vast collection of ideas and sketches I had on my computer, as a final project before I set that machine on fire and let it all go up in flames. Kind of like what Lee “Scratch” Perry did with The Black Ark in Kingston in the 70’s. A friend says the album sounds like ‘weird Jamaican space disco” so maybe it’s a fitting reference.”
