''holiday''

Ο Brandon Bethancourt μένει τον τελευταιό καιρό στο Βερολίνο και αυτό φαίνεται στα νέα του τραγούδια. Ο δεύτερος δίσκος των/του alaksa in winter θα κυκλοφορήσει στις 17 Νοεμβρίου. Λίγα λόγια από τον ίδια εδώ : ''Brandon explains the differences between the new album and last year's 'Dance Party In The Balkans': "Well, I think each place I go to and record music (whether New Mexico, Alaska, New York, or Berlin) the recordings reflect the place I'm in as well as where I am mentally at that time - and I'd have to say that I've definitely been influenced by Berlin on this album - it's much more electronic than the last, heavily based on synths, basses, and dancier drums and with hints of minimal house elements creeping in ever so slightly. Even within the album itself I can hear a progression of the Berlin electronic music scene influencing me more and more with the amount of time I spent here - for example, 'We Are Blind on the Merry-Go-Round' (which was the 1st song I worked on) to 'Berlin' or 'Streetgang Part 3' or 'Knorrpromenade' which were the last songs I did for this album. Really, the Berlin techno party fun times and all night dance marathons were big inspirations for me."
