Trentemøller details self-titled LP with Mew’s Jonas Bjerre on lead single

Trentemøller loops in a diverse revolving door of singers for the record, including Anika, Sune Rose Wagner of The Raveonettes, Midwife, Tan Cologne, and Emma Acs. The decision to foreground voices marks a shift for the Danish artist, who describes treating the vocals as "an extra instrument" to play with.

Lead single “Terrified” features Jonas Bjerre of Mew, who also created the accompanying animated video. Trentemøller says it's "probably the poppiest song on the album." Check it out below.

The album was made without the vocalists ever meeting in the studio, with parts exchanged remotely. "I knew early on exactly who I wanted singing on these songs, people I deeply respect and could already hear in my music, friends and a few I'd never worked with before," Trentemøller explains. "I'm pretty shy, to be honest, and it gave the vocalists the privacy to really open up."

Of his editing process, he says, "The noisy got noisier, the dreamy got dreamier, the melodic got even more melodic. I was ruthless this time. Okay, kill your darlings! If a track didn't give me a feeling of freedom, wanderlust, sorrow, love or that pure 'I don't give a fuck' feeling… It was gone."

Trentemøller has also confirmed European tour dates for spring 2027, including a London show at Electric Ballroom on 11 March. He plans to perform the album in full, noting: "Now I can't wait to play these songs live with my band. For the first time ever, I'm gonna play the whole album, start to end. Every single song!"
