The Female Form is the second collaborative record between two of Copenhagen’s most prolific experimental music personas.
Frederikke Hoffmeier’s Puce Mary project is known from several solo records on Posh Isolation and her collaborative releases with Sewer Election, as well as almost countless shows and performances
all over the world.
Loke Rahbek is probably best known for his work as
half of Posh Isolation and his projects under the aliases Croatian Amor,
Damien Dubrovnik, Lust for Youth, Vår and an impressive body of work
manifested both as records, performances and strange places in between.
Together they have previously released ‘The Closed Room’ on Posh
Isolation in 2011 and now, four years later, they are ready with the
second record of their planned trilogy.
The Female Form was recorded partly in their shared studio in Copenhagen located inside the venue and studio complex Mayhem, and partly at the historical Electro-Acoustic EMS studio in Stockholm.
Thematically the record deals with intimacy and the (im)possible
relation of the sexes.
It is obvious that the two artists have grown
vastly, both as composers and lyricists since their last collaborative
effort.
Still, it feels like ‘The Female Form’ follows where ’The Closed
Room’ left of, walking a path in between industrial, drone and electro
acoustic music.
The room is still closed, the doors are shut and windows
covered, whatever insight the listener is granted is the kind of
insight you get peeping through the keyhole or the crack between the
curtains.
Every motion is obscured and the outcome uncertain.
Still, the
seven pieces that form ’The Female Form’ is a demanding and intriguing
venture into the two artists’ world, even if we are left at the doorstep
with the door closed in front of us.
