Courtesy has today delivered her brand new album intimate yell, released on her very own imprint, Against Interpretation.
The Danish artist’s second studio album is stylistically lifted from her current DJ endeavors. Over nine songs Courtesy offers various underground genres of dance music, spanning from deconstructed deep house, 2-step, 90s IDM and ambient. All the music is written and produced by Courtesy, recorded in her art and music space Studio Vestbirk in Berlin.
The album also features collaborations with a row of different singers and musicians; French singer/producer Klō, Singaporean singer Sophie Joe, German singer Lyanne, German pianist Ben Leo, Irish producer Spray, German actor Aaron Altaras, and with song lyrics and poems commissioned from American art critic Geoffrey Mak, Danish author Lucia Odoom and American artist Sofia Defino Leiby.
The release is accompanied by a 10-minute video collage made in collaboration with photographer Laura Schaeffer, also titled “intimate yell”, which will be screened at the release event at CCA Berlin (Center for Contemporary Arts in Berlin) today, followed by an afterparty at Säule, Berghain, with DJ sets by Klō, Courtesy b2b Byron Yeates and S-candalo.
