Since the release of Mermaids in May 2021, the Danish electronic trio and globally acclaimed live act WhoMadeWho have been hinting at a new studio album.
Following the global success of their last two singles, Summer and Silence & Secrets, as well as a plethora of remixes from DJ Tennis, Black Coffee, Adriatique, and Frank Wiedemann, the in-demand Scandinavian outfit reveal details of their upcoming album, UUUU.
UUUU is the seventh full-length studio album from WhoMadeWho, who have been making and releasing music together since 2003. It will be released internationally on Friday, May 27 via the long-running German record company Embassy One. To celebrate the announcement, WhoMadeWho have released the gorgeous title tune, UUUU, as the fourth single from the upcoming album.
The dreamy six-minute track sees band members Tomas, Tomas, and Jeppe link up with Berlin-based producer and Keinemusik co-founder Rampa to present a fascinating sonic voyage that ebbs and flows throughout its duration, continuing the release’s theme of self-expression and deep reflection. The collaborative composition, which plays with texture, timbre, and rhythm, pays homage to WhoMadeWho’s raw emotive quality while simultaneously exploring the clubbier sonic palette that characterizes Rampa’s well-appreciated sound experiment.
UUUU was one of those songs that kept haunting us for over a year. We started a beat together with Rampa on a very warm day in Frank Wiedemann’s studio in Berlin. The initial beat only took an hour to make – we also created ‘Abu Simbel’ that same day. After that, we kept making changes and never got it right, we actually skipped it, but last minute we completely reworked all synths and we wrote completely new vocals together with Kat Frankie who also added some very nice female flavor to the song. This kind of process is what makes producing music both beautiful and stressfull at the same time – you never know when you hit something significant. It might take 20 minutes or it might take a year.
