Prism House “Someone Save Me (Albert Swarm Remix)”

06 Aug 2013 — Tonje Thilesen

It's been a while since we got a word from the Finnish producer Albert Swarm, who released his absolutely beautiful EP Wake last year via Ceremony in New York, shortly followed by releases on the same label from our own Solar Year and Prism House. Unsure for how much longer Albert Swarm is going to keep his moniker for the public (as it's not being his real name), this might just be one of the last things we're hearing before a possible name change. It is, as well, a tune that might just define the trademark of Albert Swarm's future direction, as we've been told from his label, turning out to be quite an interesting new angle. Compared to Wake, the remix of Prism House's "Someone Save Me" feels less compact in exploration of the physical space, rather focusing on an odd, yet highly complex and fascinating sound, apparently not scared to break out of a structured composition, and allowing experimentation to rule the natural development of the track. As I keep saying, I'm still curious why his name still isn't on everyone's lips. Listen for yourself below.
