about
None of the 4 Printer members ever went to Ibiza. This would not surprise the people who heard their last two albums, which are an introvert play with recent electronic rock traditions and experiments. Formed in the Danish festival city Roskilde, the 4 piece band Printer joined as a rock band. After the first two weeks, the drummer was up behind a keyboard and the guy brought in as guitar player never left his laptop. Getting more and more integrated as a band by interconnecting instruments through the computer, the name Printer became the best way to parallel this merge between digital and analogue. After the modest debut in 2003 with Absence, Printer played a dozen shows around Scandinavia and then retreated to write new material. The EP, running close to an album with its 35 minutes of electronic experiments into indie pop territory, had been received well by Scandinavian press and public as well as among Japanese and Chinese fans. The latest work 'Rhizomatic Baby' (S&W 2005) from the Danish quartet has taken a more dirty and danceable turn from the debut EP although still maintaining the emotional and intellectual focus. With a slight majority of techno based songs, the remaining ambient pop side makes a good contrast and adds depth, with out dividing the experience of the album.
