Modeselektor North America Tour
Modeselektor (aka Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary) and Apparat (aka Sascha Ring), two of Germany's most acclaimed electronic acts, have joined up to release their upcoming collaborative record, Moderat (out May 12th on Bpitch Control), and in support of this, are embarking on a rare North American tour. Their live show will be an audio-visual spectacle, as the 3 members of Moderat will be joined on stage by 2 members of the video/visual art group Pfadfinderei. Three screens of video, perfectly synchronized to the audio, will be a part of what the band describes as their most improvised and concert-like performance ever.
Additionally, the single for "Rusty Nails" will be released on May 25th, complete with remixes by Booka Shade and TRG, and, as previously noted, those who purchase the deluxe version of the full-length album will also receive a DVD produced by Pfadfinderei, including bonus tracks, behind the scenes footage, and a myriad of audio/visual acrobatics.
Check out a trailer for the DVD here: http://www.bpitchcontrol.de/Moderat/statements.html
Modeselektor and Apparat first worked together as Moderat on an EP for BPitch Control in 2002. It proved to be an exhausting effort and they shelved the prospect of future recordings until years later. A short time after recording the Moderat EP, both Modeselektor and Apparat simultaneously worked on their own full-length albums -- Modeselektor’s debut, Hello Mom!, and Apparat’s collaboration with Ellen Allien, Orchestra of Bubbles. Each went on to become successful releases and were followed by two career-defining albums for the individual acts. Apparat recorded and toured in support of his stargazing, dream-pop album, Walls, in 2007. And Modeselektor’s sophomore album in 2007, Happy Birthday!, broke ground in German music history as they collaborated with musicians including Puppetmastaz, Maximo Park and Thom Yorke. Amongst a slew of remixes for the likes of Thom Yorke and Björk, Modeselektor also went on to tour with Radiohead across Japan in 2008.
