Copenhagen-based Trentemøller has, over the last 25 years, achieved critical acclaim for his unique soundscapes and memorable melodies. Trentemøller's music represents a constantly evolving series of themes and ideas, with each release representing the next chapter of his artistic journey. He explores contrasts and paradoxes in his work and acknowledges these themes in his albums. Trentemøller's music often revolves around reminiscence and remembrance, yet he avoids nostalgia by infusing his tracks with contemporary elements. His debut full-length album, The Last Resort, was released in 2006 after a run of EPs. It topped several end-of-year polls and exposed Trentemøller's music to a broader audience.
The latest release, Memoria, his sixth studio album, features sombre, introspective pieces, motorik, dream pop, noise rock, and electronic pop. He continues to work with familiar subjects of light and dark, turbulence and serenity, piercing chill and comforting warmth, clearly inspired by the inherent antipodal elements of the Nordic environment he calls home. He pushes much further into this familiar territory while investigating new themes.
In recent years, Trentemøller has also remixed music by artists like Tricky, Savages, Depeche Mode, Franz Ferdinand, The Knife, A Place To Bury Strangers, Soft Moon, UNKLE, adding to a list of over a hundred previously released remixes.
